Chocolate Covered Espresso Bean Bark for #SundaySupper


Welcome to a Beantastic #SundaySupper! I was debating on what to make for this week’s theme. Originally black beans were what I was leaning toward, but there were a few black bean desserts already being made. I recently hosted Vanilla Week, so I didn’t want to focus on the vanilla bean. Then, a “light-bulb moment” happened – you know in cartoons, when the character gets a brilliant idea and a light-bulb pops up over his head – yeah, I have those moments…

Chocolate Covered Espresso Bean Bark for #SundaySupper

Coffee! or more precisely, Espresso Beans! I love treating myself to a little package of Chocolate Covered Espresso Bits from my local supermarket. They’re the perfect amount of chocolate and espresso flavor packed into a little snack. The only thing that could make them even better is more chocolate and espresso.

Chocolate Covered Espresso Bean Bark for #SundaySupper

I used espresso powder to flavor the chocolate and used chopped and whole chocolate covered espresso bits, so you have espresso in every bite. The espresso bits give the bark a nice crunch and I topped it off with a sprinkling of sea salt, because let’s be honest, almost everything is better with a sprinkling of sea salt. I hope you enjoy this easy and delicious recipe!

Chocolate Covered Espresso Bean Bark Ingredients:
– 3/4 cup Chocolate Covered Espresso Bean Bits, divided
– 12 ounces Almond Bark Chocolate Baking Bar
– 1 teaspoon Espresso Powder
– Pinch of Sea Salt

Chocolate Covered Espresso Bean Bark Directions:
1. Prepare a jelly roll pan with a piece of wax paper. Place 1/4 cup of the Espresso Bits into a bowl. Coarsely chop the remaining 1/2 cup of Espresso Bits and place into the same bowl. Mix and set aside.
2. Chop the Almond Bark Baking Bar into pieces and place into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, in the microwave, then stir with a spatula. Heat for an additional 30 seconds and stir once again. If necessary, heat for another 15-20 seconds. Stir after each heating and make sure not to over heat or burn the bark. If there are little bits of chocolate still there, stir with a spatula and the heat from the melted chocolate should finish melting the rest.
3. Once the chocolate is completely melted, add in the Espresso Powder and stir. Pour the chocolate onto the prepared wax paper and smooth out with a large offset spatula. Quickly sprinkle on the chopped and whole Espresso Pieces, pressing them into the chocolate slightly, and sprinkle on the Sea Salt. You can refrigerate it until it hardens, but it can also be left out at room temperature. Cut into pieces and enjoy!

Until next time,
LOVE & CONFECTIONS!

    My husband and I would LOVE this! I made bark for the first time ever, just a few weeks ago. So now I'm ready to take on the 'bark' world, and I've set my sights on this one now.
