Start by laying a parchment-lined baking sheet or flat surface that will fit into your fridge and set aside.
In a small heat-proof bowl, combine the vegan dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Melt the chocolate mixture using a double boiler or microwave. If using the microwave, heat on a medium setting in 30-second intervals, stirring in-between until smooth.
Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt until fully incorporated.
Add the whole coffee beans into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Using a fork or slotted spoon, carefully lift the chocolate-coated coffee beans out, letting the excess chocolate drip off, and place them onto the prepared parchment-lined surface.
Repeat until all beans are coated and placed separately on the sheet to avoid clumping.
Refrigerate the chocolate-covered coffee beans for about 20-30 minutes or until fully set.
Once the chocolate has hardened, remove from the refrigerator and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Enjoy your homemade vegan chocolate covered coffee beans as a treat or pack them into decorative jars for gifting!
