Choc Beans

Merlo choc beans combine premium coffee with high quality chocolate, creating a simple and satisfying way to enjoy both in one bite.

Each coffee bean is carefully roasted for flavour and crunch, then coated in smooth chocolate to balance bold espresso notes with sweetness. The result is a snack that delivers both taste and a subtle energy lift, making it ideal for gifting, sharing, or enjoying alongside your daily coffee.

Because these products are made with real chocolate, they are sensitive to heat. During warmer months, choc beans may be temporarily unavailable to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition and maintain their quality from dispatch to delivery - please check in store for details.

With options across dark, milk, and flavoured chocolate varieties, this collection offers a range of profiles to suit different preferences. Whether you prefer something rich and intense or lighter and more indulgent, choc beans provide an easy way to enjoy coffee beyond the cup.

Choc Bean Collection

The Merlo choc bean collection brings together a range of chocolate coated coffee beans designed for both flavour and versatility. Each option is selected to highlight the balance between roasted coffee and smooth chocolate, offering a consistent and enjoyable experience across the range.

Dark chocolate varieties deliver a more intense flavour, allowing the coffee notes to come through more clearly. Milk chocolate options create a softer and more rounded profile, while flavoured combinations introduce additional layers such as fruit, spice, or nut based textures.

This variety makes choc beans suitable for different occasions. They can be enjoyed as a quick snack, served alongside coffee, or used as a simple way to elevate desserts and platters. Whether you prefer a classic combination or something more distinctive, the collection is designed to offer choice without complexity.

When to Enjoy Choc Beans?

Choc beans are designed to be flexible and fit easily into different moments throughout the day.

They work well as a small pick up between meetings, a post meal treat, or a simple addition to a coffee break. Their combination of chocolate and coffee also makes them a convenient option when you want something satisfying without preparing a full drink.

Many people also use choc beans when entertaining, adding them to grazing boards, dessert spreads, or serving them alongside espresso for a more complete coffee experience.

Because they are easy to portion and store, they are just as suitable for everyday use as they are for gifting or sharing.

Choosing the Right Choc Beans

Selecting the right choc beans comes down to flavour preference and how you plan to enjoy them.

If you prefer a stronger coffee presence, darker chocolate options will provide more contrast and depth. For a smoother and sweeter experience, milk or white chocolate coatings create a more balanced profile.

Flavoured varieties are a good option if you are looking for something different, offering combinations that add variety without overwhelming the coffee base.

If you are pairing choc beans with coffee, choosing a flavour that complements your usual brew can enhance the overall experience. For example, richer blends pair well with darker chocolate, while lighter coffees can be balanced with sweeter coatings.

FAQs

Do choc beans give the same caffeine as drinking coffee?

Not exactly. Choc beans contain caffeine because they use whole coffee beans, but the amount per bean is much lower than a cup of coffee. Eating a small handful will give you a mild boost, but it will not be as strong as a full brewed coffee.

How many choc beans equal one cup of coffee?

There is no exact equivalent, but it typically takes quite a few choc beans to match the caffeine in one cup of coffee. Because the caffeine is spread across individual beans, the effect is usually more gradual and less intense.

Do choc beans melt easily?

Yes, because they are made with real chocolate, choc beans can soften or melt in warmer conditions. To protect product quality during hotter months, they may be temporarily unavailable for delivery. When in stock, it is best to store them in a cool, dry place and avoid exposure to heat.

Are choc beans hard or easy to bite into?

They have a firm crunch from the roasted coffee bean inside, but the chocolate coating makes them easier to eat than plain beans. The texture is typically crisp rather than overly hard.

Do choc beans taste very strong like coffee?

It depends on the chocolate coating. Dark chocolate varieties tend to highlight the coffee flavour more, while milk and white chocolate soften it, making the overall taste sweeter and more approachable.
