Beautiful Chocolate & Coffee Bean Wedding Favor

12/7/2009

 
Are you using brown as one of your main colors for your wedding? Maybe you want to use the very popular Tiffany’s theme – blending the now popular brown and blue combination. Are you considering having chocolate or coffee flavors as key ingredients in your food items? If any of this applies, then this edible wedding favor may be just right for your needs – plus it becomes a very simple, yet elegant, decorative piece for your guest tables.

How to Make Chocolate and Espresso Bean Wedding Favor & Decoration Combo

This favor combines two key ingredients, coffee and chocolate, in one of the easiest ways imaginable. Here’s what you’ll need:
​
  • Chocolate covered espresso beans
  • Chocolate covered malt balls
  • Chocolate cups (one per guest)
  • Sprigs of small flowers – edible or artificial

You’ll need to do some figuring to get the exact number of espresso beans and malt balls for each cup. The cup that is shown here measured approximately 1″ square and was nearly 1″ high. It held about a dozen espresso beans with one malt ball in each. Be sure to order several extra chocolate cups since they are somewhat fragile and you don’t want to run short from last minute breakages. Additionally, you should order a couple of extra cups of espresso beans and malt balls, since you may spill some or eat them as you do your assembly. It’s best to order your espresso beans and the malt balls in bulk as a cost-savings measure. The edible ingredients used here were ordered from A Taste of Chocolate and the flowers were silk sprigs that were picked up at a Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft store, but they can be ordered online as well. If you order your chocolate, espresso beans, or malt balls early, be sure to store them in an air-tight container and keep them in a cool and dark location until you are ready to use them.

Since these items are temperature-sensitive (you can’t leave them out in a room that is too warm or refrigerate them to keep them cool as the chocolate will sweat), you should plan to do your assembly no earlier than the afternoon before your wedding reception. It’s easiest to lay out all of the cups on a tray and then first drop in the espresso beans, followed by the addition of the malt ball on top. Then simply place a sprig of flowers into the cup wherever it looks best and will stay put. Each cup can then be easily transferred to a simple bread plate on the guest table.
