Dark Chocolate; Want Coffee With That?
March 21, 2011
Chocolate Crafters of Yuma, Arizona makes wonderful chocolate. I have recently reviewed their candied orange peel and “Sea Turtle.”
They also make a wonderful dark chocolate coffee bean bark. The roasted espresso beans add crunch and real coffee flavor without bitterness or the aftertaste that some of the flavored syrups can leave behind.
They also offer this same recipe dipped on a spoon. Yes, dipped and hardened on a spoon so that you can stir your morning coffee and change it into a mocha java!
The smooth and mild 62% chocolate allows the coffee flavor from the roasted bean to take over with just the right amount of intensity.
The shop’s signature line of chocolate is the truffle candy bars that come in a variety of flavors. Of course, I did my best to try them all, and one of my favorites is the Aztec Chili Truffle.
A dark chocolate coating covers a ganache center blended with spicy, hot chilies. It really does burn your lips, mouth, and everything else on the way down! If you like a little chocolate with your heat, try these.
My mouth is still on fire...
