While buying some coffee beans in Whittards, I came across these Chilli Chocolate coated Coffee Beans..
I first decided to try sucking a few to see what the chocolate tasted of , so I place a small hand full on my tough and let them melt, they are quite glossy looking but they soon melted, the chocolate was delicious, a good milk chocolate, with a hint of chilli flavour, not mouth burning, but very pleasant, I popped the now uncoated bean into my palm, and they look like a light roasted bean, a little smaller and more rounded that I was expecting.
Now to try crunching the chocolate and the beans together, I have to say at this point I have been put off coated coffee bean in the past as it has seemed like eating coffee grounds, which is not always a great experience.
Ingredients: Sugar, Whole Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass, Roasted Coffee Beans (8%), Chilli Powder (0.4%), Emulsifier (Soya Lecithin), Glazing Agent (Gum Arabic), Flavouring.
This time I have to admit they worked for me, the coffee was nice and crunchy and did not leave my mouth feeling like the bottom of a Cafetiere, it is not going to convert me to munching them as a favourite snack, give me a good espresso and bar of chilli chocolate any day.
