  • Place 1/2 of the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low until almost melted, about 1 minute; do not allow chocolate to burn. Remove from the microwave, stir to melt any remaining pieces, and let cool slightly.
  • Drop a small handful of coffee beans into the chocolate and drench until completely covered. Fish out with a fork and drop onto waxed paper, making sure beans are separated. Repeat with remaining beans. Let cool until chocolate is solid, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt remaining chocolate in the microwave; do not allow to burn. Stir once and cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Drop a small amount of chocolate-covered coffee beans into the melted chocolate at a time, until completely covered with a second coating. Place on a new sheet of waxed paper and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
