I used hersheys special dark chocolate chips and some random coffee beans I had in the freezer. The chocolate was super easy to melt with a double boiler (I actually messed up and let it get too hot but it still didn't break, I guess the Hersheys chocolate is designed to be idiot proof) and I found that the texture got too grainy before it tasted too much like coffee so the dark chocolate masks the taste well. The only problem I had was that the chocolate never really set up like a candy bar, so even though it's refrigerator cold it starts to melt and get on your fingers the moment you pick it up. This, again, is probably because of the Hersheys chocolate chips being designed to stay soft even after they've been sitting in a cookie jar for a couple of days. <strong>RESPONSE:</strong> Cool - good info! Thanks Justin! (Hey - why don't you turn comments on in your blog? I want to comment!) :) --Brian I tried this last night and it worked pretty well and was pretty easy.
