It’s usually best to give the ground variety which works with most coffee makers. If you want to give whole beans then make sure your recipient already has a grinder or be sure to pop one in your basket.

Many of us are partial to a little something sweet to go with our coffee, try the following recipes for a couple of treats that taste DIVINE and have the added bonus of being simple to make!

Chocolate Coated Coffee Beans
1/3 cup roasted coffee beans
1/2 cup chocolate chips

1. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler until liquid and smooth. Drop in a handful of beans, and stir them around.

2. Using a fork, scoop the beans out one by one (yes it's time consuming but well worth the effort!) and set them out on waxed paper. Keep them separate.

3. Continue until all the beans are covered.

4. Leave them overnight to harden so they don't stick together!

3. Stir continuously over a low heat, allowing all butter and sugar to melt and slowly bring to the boil.

4. Allow to boil gently for about 15 minutes, stirring several times.

5. Drop a little of the fudge into a saucer of cold water, when it forms a soft ball, it's ready.

6. Add the coffee.

7. Leave it to cool for a few minutes then use a wooden spoon and beat until the fudge becomes thick and creamy.
