Alpine Naturals Dark Chocolate Espresso Beans, 16 Ounce

Yummy ! So good ! Put a couple in your coffee !

The flavor of these were good, the chocolate especially. I think the beans were a little harsh and medium quality. Whenever I get new beans, or roast my own, I always taste them, so I'm familiar with the taste and texture of coffee and espresso beans. I felt these were an okay bean.

Nice!

If you love coffee more than chocolate, this candy will hit your sweet spot. It reeks of coffee flavor and I could barely taste the sweetness of chocolate in it. The coffee overwhelms everything. As a chocolate lover, I'll skip this, but if you ever wanted to eat rather than drink your morning coffee, I'd suggest buying this.

Alpine Naturals Dark Chocolate Espresso Beans, 16 Ounce is a great chocolate treat. My first reaction when I first tasted the divine little treats was WOW! Alpine Naturals had taken carefully roasted espresso beans and covered them with a smooth, creamy dark chocolate that melts in your mouth. I bit down on the chocolate ball and there was a small crunch. Then this wonderful flavor of coffee and chocolate filled my mouth. I love both dark chocolate and espresso and together, a dream come true. They are perfect for an after-dinner treat but those who are sensitive to caffeine should probably be careful when they eat them. Maybe an after breakfast or lunch treat?I have had chocolate covered coffee beans in the past and they were good. I expected these candies to be similar in flavor but Alpine Naturals has done something different that I think raises their chocolate espresso beans to a special level. The beans are not bitter which can happen with over-roasted beans and the chocolate is dark but very smooth, my favorite. The treats come in 8-ounce and 16-ounce resealable packages. They should keep well in the bag assuming they don't get all eaten in a feeding frenzy.I recommend these wonderful treats and urge you to give them a try. You will not be sorry.

Just kidding. Best I have ever tried.Despite having endured a few trials that would have tested the toughest of confectionery, the dark chocolate espresso beans survived to tell the tale of being about the best. First, the UPS driver left them well hidden from everything but the sun- this took cate of the top 1/3- then I came along and in a small but of irony left them atop my coffee maker.No matter, these are the best. Take the result of a sugar binge, throw in the dark dark beans and, well, a full one-pound bag and it’s a recipe for insomnia. (Knowing what I do now, I would definitely break down the bag into smaller portions. And hide them.)So in a way, having to work a ballpein and icepick to get a handful out served as an overindulgence deterrent. There were still quite a few natives rolling around in the bag to sample, and it’s a shame I ruined so many of them, but the overall net loss was zero. The blobs shattered fairly easily- at least the sunbaked ones- and even though the melting caused some unfortunate discoloration, (they are a thing of beauty) the taste was unaffected.(I know the photo looks like the Easter Bunny paid a visit, but you get the idea)Selling these in a bag this size is just cruel. For those of you with little or no will power, pace yourselves.

To be honest, I liked this well enough, but I don't know that I would buy them again. There is a pretty heavy chocolate coating around the actual nut, so that the actual coffee flavor has a harder time coming through. I realize this is a personal preference. If you're a big fan of chocolate, then by all means, this is a great buy. I just would have preferred a little more coffee/mocha flavoring.

I can't believe I've been missing chocolate-coated espresso beans all these years. I've heard of them, but just never tried them. What a shame....because I think these are wonderful. The "dark" of the chocolate is not all that dark, and the cocoa content is only 51%, but the chocolate tastes rich and melts nicely in the mouth. The combination of the chocolate and the bean is very similar to the rewarding combination of a sip of coffee and a bite of fine chocolate.These are great to crunch. I never really thought to eat/chew coffee beans before. I sure did not know what I was missing! (Particles do get stuck in teeth, though.)I tried hard to not eat these in the evening, thinking the caffeine would keep me awake, but I couldn't resist. Which then gave me the opportunity to realize that if there is caffeine in these beans, it is not enough to affect my sleep.
