Chocolate-covered coffee beans are a popular treat that combines roasted coffee beans with a layer of melted chocolate. Originating from culinary traditions that leverage coffee and chocolate, these snacks are often associated with gourmet and dessert cuisines. Nutritionally, they provide a concentrated source of caffeine from the coffee bean and certain antioxidants, such as flavonoids, from the chocolate. Depending on the type of chocolate used (dark, milk, or white), they may also contain varying amounts of sugar, fat, and carbohydrates. While they are energy-dense due to added chocolate, they also offer a minor source of iron, magnesium, and fiber.
Store chocolate-covered coffee beans in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Chocolate covered coffee beans typically contain around 200-250 calories per ounce (approximately 28 grams), but this can vary depending on the type of chocolate used. Dark chocolate versions tend to have slightly fewer calories than milk chocolate.
Chocolate covered coffee beans can be keto-friendly if made with sugar-free dark chocolate. Standard versions, however, typically contain sugar, making them less suitable for strict keto diets. Always check the label for carb counts and added sugars.
Chocolate covered coffee beans offer both the antioxidant benefits of coffee and chocolate. Coffee contains caffeine, which may improve focus and energy levels, while dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids that support heart health. However, high sugar content in certain types can negate these benefits.
A common serving size for chocolate covered coffee beans is around 10-12 beans, which typically contains 120-150 calories and moderate amounts of caffeine (40-80 mg). Consuming too many may lead to excessive caffeine intake or added sugar consumption.
Chocolate covered coffee beans are more calorie-dense than plain coffee beans due to the added chocolate, which also introduces sugar and fats. Plain coffee beans are virtually calorie-free but lack the sweetness and richness provided by the chocolate coating.
