  • Line a 9x14-inch baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  • Place coffee beans in a food processor and pulse a few times just until coarsely chopped.
  • Melt milk chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, about 5 minutes. Add shortening to make melted milk chocolate smoother; stir until smooth. Stir coffee beans into melted milk chocolate until coated.
  • Pour milk chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading mixture to the edges. Refrigerate.
  • Melt dark chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, about 5 minutes. Add shortening to make melted dark chocolate smoother; stir until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Pour melted dark chocolate over refrigerated milk chocolate mixture, spreading evenly over the top. Refrigerate until set, 10 to 15 minutes.
