DESCRIPTION
Delicious dark chocolate adds a hint of sweetness to the espresso bean. Naturally, a satisfying crunch – an authentic pick-me-up. During the Civil War, coffee was coveted by all soldiers, who ate the bean whole. In the early 1900s, confectioners started coating candies in chocolate. The espresso bean was first covered in the 1970s by the company who makes these! 4 oz heat-sealed bag with history on the label.

Revolutionary Chocolate: A History of Health and Indulgence
Chocolate has a rich history, starting in Mesoamerica where cacao beans were first discovered. The beans were consumed in a variety of ways, often in drinks and with flavorings like chili and vanilla, believed to be health-boosting. As chocolate made its way to Europe, it became a highly sought-after treat, despite some seeing it as sinful. By the 1700s, chocolate was making its way into the hearts of European settlers, including in America, where it was used for medicinal purposes. Chocolate was even seen as a gift or aphrodisiac, and some early enthusiasts, like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, believed in its health benefits. Over time, chocolate evolved from a bitter drink to the sweet, creamy treat we know today, with innovations like chocolate bars, truffles, and even confections like espresso beans coated in rich dark chocolate. The journey of chocolate continued to grow through the Industrial Revolution, leading to the creation of beloved modern candies.
