Coffee Bark

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup coffee beans (i used columbian)
• 1 ounce paraffin wax (find this with the canning supplies)

Recipe

• 1 roast the coffee beans on a cookie sheet in a hot oven for 5-10 mins, or until you can start to smell them.
• 2 heat wax and chocolate in the top of a double boiler. i used a metal mixing bowl over a sauce pan of boiling water. heat the water just to a simmer prior to adding the chocolate in the top. too hard of a boil will heat the chocolate too quickly and cause it to seize up. be sure to heat the chocolate just until melted, then remove from heat.
• 3 add the warm coffee beans to the melted chocolate/wax mixture, and stir to cover completely.
• 4 pour mixture out onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet and allow to cool overnight.
• 5 break into bite sized pieces and enjoy!
• 6 i must warn you that this is not something that you'd want to give to small children or eat a lot of in one sitting as the caffeine really packs a whallop!
