Go Beans

wildgypsy70 · Sep 2, 2018

Chocolate covered espresso beans. Go Beans is what me and the kids called them.....cause you go, go, go after you eat them!

VT Arabica is just like chewing a whole coffee bean. VT Dark Chocolate and chocolate milk is my new go-to chocolate base.....so good and doesn’t go south like so many other chocolates.

This is still a work in progress. I’m vaping it right now and it’s good, but needs something. Any suggestions very welcome. Give this one a good long steep to chill out the Arabica.

VT Arabica Coffee 0.5%
FA Tiramisu 0.5%
VT Chocolate Milk 1%
VT Dark Chocolate 1%
FA Meringue 0.75%
Caps Sweet Cream 2%

Honestly, I've never tried a coffee vape of any kind, but I'd like to try this. Coffee and chocolate - two of my favorite things.

This is my most favorite chocolate ever:

I don't get to enjoy it very often, but when I can get it, it's almost a religous experience! If I could replicate this in a vape, I'd be so happy.

Nice! Chocolate is tough. Most chocolates go wonky and twangy after a steep. It’s rare that I find a chocolate I like or can vape for any length of time. I’m liking the VT chocolates, in general. They seem to avoid the wonkiness of other chocolates.

That looks like a really good chocolate bar!

It is! It's probably the best chocolate you can buy around here, and it's not available at just any time. I can only find it about 2-3 times a year.

This is a recipe I make as a dessert I EAT due to dietary restrictions, but it is good. Maybe could vape version it.
Figs, almond meal coconut oil is the base.
Coconut cream, figs, dark chocolate, coconut oil is the pie filling.
It is very decadent.
But, I am going to try to find these go beans, because I could use a bit of the energy.
I am going to have to get some VTA arabica and dark chocolate next, damn you girl lol

Oooooh, that sounds good. And interesting. Making me think.....

Tell me more about this dessert.......what’s forward! Is it a pie crust type thing or a bottom layer? And is the filling creamy-ish? No dairy, though. It dos sound very rich.....

Pie base and very creamy. Here's the recipe
Soak a cup of dates in hot water, or use mejool.
Melt about six squares of dark chocolate with a couple spoons of coconut oil in the microwave.
Put a third of the dates, a good cup of almond meal and your melted chocolate/oil in your whiz bang and blitz
Press in a pie dish and stick in fridge.
Get a jug. Put two thirds a block of dark chocolate, a can of coconut cream and half a cup of coconut oil in it.
Microwave until melted.
Put in whiz bang with the rest of the dates, and a splash of vanilla extract. Blitz.
Pour into prepared pie base and stick in fridge and thank me later!

You’re gluten free, just like me! This sounds lush! I gotta see if there’s figs still around here. Our tree is too young. Yum!

Figs or dates?
I try to keep off gluten, and sugar.
I don't have dairy at all.
You feel better I reckon.

Figs. Dates I can get.

I’ve been off gluten for over a year now and I try to restrict dairy. And sugar, too. I do feel better and can tell if I have any of said offenders.

Trader Joes, if you have one. A little plastic tub of them run around $5 a tub. I keep a bunch in my locker at work. Kroger and Meijer also sell them, but I prefer the Trader Joe's ones. More coffee flavor, also they're dark chocolate, instead of milk.

Thanks, I am in Australia, we don't have trader Joe's. You guys get all the good stores!

I've seen them in some of the local grocers, and at coffee houses, too. I hope you find some, they're wonderful!

Sorry for the derail, Wildgypsy.

Lol! No worries! A very worthy derail!

Condensed cream or de leche is what popped into my mind when I read the recipe.

I had mixed this up a while ago and freed up a mod, naw I bought a couple more mods, truth be told, squonkers of course... The VTA Arabica is very interesting indeed. I'm digging this as posted. I haven't had chocolate covered espresso beans in a long time, I'll need to snag some before I mess with any changes.

This does look good but I'm having a hard time finding 'Darl Chocolate' ... :teehee:

I never noticed that! Obviously. Oops. Gonna go fix that now!

gopher_byrd · Nov 4, 2018

@wildgypsy70 I'm really digging this with 4 fingers of Kentucky's finest!

@wildgypsy70 Hey hope you have been well. This looks good and need to start saving for a new order from BCF. Just wondering what about the coil life here - can you comment on this. Asking as I have tried other chocolates that really seemed to have too much sweetener or something else that seems my coils gunk'ed up and did not last to long and start getting that burnt taste. It was not from sweetener being added to the recipe but seemed to be from the chocolate flavor as the common item. Thanks Gypsy

Hey! As far as I can tell, this isn’t a super coil gunker. I’m not an ADV girl, so I haven’t vaped it all day, but when I vape it for a few hours, my coils are ok. The chocolates used, from what I can tell, aren’t particularly sweet as is, especially the dark chocolate. And, so far, no burnt taste! Yay!

Let me put it this way, I vaped an entire 30 ml bottle of this without changing the wick in my single coil Hadaly RSA. The VTA chocolates are very clean.

+ 1 for VTA chocolates vaping clean.
