You will also need: rubber ice-cube trays, or candy molds in the shape ducks.

2
Melt the Chocolate:.
-
3
In a double boiler, boil water in the bottom level of the double boiler pot.
-
4
Bring the water to a rolling boil.
-
5
Add chocolate chips to the top level, then slowly stir in the cream.
-
6
Stir until the mixture is smooth and thin.

Prepare the Trays:.
-
9
Lightly powder the rubber trays with unsweetened cocoa.
-
10
Fill each duck reservoir half-way with chocolate.
-
11
Place 3 coffee beans in each reservoir.
-
12
Add more melted chocolate to each reservoir, enough to fill each duck to the top.
-
13
Lightly tap or jiggle the tray on the countertop.
-
14
This will settle the chocolate and ensure that there are no air pockets in the candy.
-
15
Then take a knife and scrape the excess chocolate from the tray.
-
16
Glide the knife over each reservoir to create a smooth surface for the back of the candy.

Final Step:.
-
18
Put the candy trays on a flat surface in the freezer for approximately 10 minutes.
-

Remove the candy and gently remove the ducks from the tray.

You'll notice that the powdered cocoa has given the candy a matte finish.

Now place the ducks on a plate or put them in an Easter egg for final presentation.
