Chocolate-covered coffee beans are confections made by coating roasted coffee beans in some kind of chocolate, typically milk chocolate but often also dark chocolate or white chocolate. They are usually only slightly sweet, especially the dark chocolate kind, and the coffee bean has a bitter flavor.
