Coffee beans in burlap bag with blue background

 ½ cup coffee beans
 ¾ cup dark chocolate chips or baking bars

Instructions
1

Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and set aside.

2

Melt chocolate on the stove top in a doubler boiler. Place a pot of water on the burner and let it boil. Once boiling, place another pot on top of the water pot and mix the chocolate.

Be careful not to burn the chocolate, and be sure to NOT get the chocolate wet. It will ruin the texture and you'll have to start over.

3

Remove the chocolate from heat. Mix the espresso beans in with chocolate to ensure they're fully coated.

4

Remove each coffee bean one by one and set on the parchment paper. It won't work to lump them out by spoonfuls on the parchment paper.

5

Let the chocolate harden on the counter for at least 30 minutes. Or place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous K Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous Kringle with Gesha Coffee 

While some of us are familiar with wine and cheese pairings, most of us are not as familiar with coffee and food pairings (and I don’t know about you, but I tend to enjoy this combo much more frequently than the former). 

As a tribute to my home state, I attempted to make kringle, and I’ve discovered it’s a lot harder than it looks. The one pictured is actually a kringle from an authentic Danish bakery in WI because my first attempts have yet to be successful. And while kringle is good on its own, it’s even better when perfectly paired with a Gesha coffee. 

The reason I went with this choice is because Gesha coffee is almost like a tea. The flavors are complex and boast of sweet, floral notes. Gesha coffee also has a much lighter body than most other coffees. This mild quality works to delicately compliment the buttery and fruity flavors of this pastry, but it won’t entirely overtake the wonderful flavors of the kringle.

Do you have a favorite Gesha coffee? I’ve shared my favorite in the comments below!

⁣
When coffee is paired properly, you’re able to taste enhanced flavors of both the coffee and the food. Foods that are buttery, such as this apple tart, are excellent companions. The coffee intensifies and complements the buttery sweetness of the crust, making for a perfect match.
⁣
Try pairing an apple tart with a full-bodied light roast such as Intelligentsia’s Frequency Blend. This blend has tasting notes of dried fruit, almond, and milk chocolate so you get the best of both worlds.
Today’s brew is from my all-time favorite coffee Today’s brew is from my all-time favorite coffee shop — Bradbury’s located in Madison, Wisconsin. This coffee shop turned me into a coffee snob. I’ve yet to find an equivalent bright cup of coffee anywhere else.
⁣
When I was home for the holidays, I bought a bag of their seasonal blend by Ruby’s Colorful Coffees. This blend consists of beans from El Salvador and Ethiopia. I tried these beans with an AeroPress and an espresso machine. I much prefer it as espresso, as Bradbury’s bright & distinguished flavors really pop when properly extracted this way.
