They do make chocolate covered coffee beans so yes some people snack on them.

But please be careful, raw coffee beans contain much more caffeine than coffee. About 4 beans are equal to one cup of coffee

4 beans does not equal 1 cup of coffee

Coffee beans are around 10mg caffeine per gram.

Still be careful since chocolate covered coffee beans are like crack and you WILL eat a handful and then you’ll feel like you’re about to explode

I can eat handfuls of these coffee beans while drinking a Rockstar... I don't think there's nearly as much caffeine as you all are making them out to have.

On the contrary, I think you’ve built up a high tolerance for caffeine

Yeah. I'm taking a break from it for awhile. Been about a month since I've had any appreciable amount (more than what's naturally occurring in tea and chocolate).

I got a bag of chocolate covered espresso beans for Xmas. I enjoy the heck of them. I just told my wife 30 minutes ago if you eat more than 4 of these at a time your eyeballs start buzzing.

When I was younger worked at a candy store that sold these. We were allowed free samples during our downtime. Hard to work a cash register when you've got the jitters but totally worth it.

I remember when the Walmart superstore opened in our area in 2017. One of the first items to go to clearance was a bag of chocolate covered espresso beans.

They were the bomb.

Not casually. It's a formal affair. I don my 3 piece suit, have my butler send out invitations to foreign and local dignitaries, and we repair to the dining room to commence the feast. Using only the finest silverware of course.

I used to at the grocery store as a kid. I have dark chocolate covered coffee beans somewhere in the freezer now. It’s been a while, I should find them!

Not plain ones but I eat chocolate-covered ones sometimes.

I love chocolate covered ones. It is one of the rare things I like from Starbucks.

No. I fear that’s unique to you.
