Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and reserve a spot in the fridge for the tray.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add the cacao butter and dark chocolate. Microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until the chocolate is completely melted. It's okay if the cacao butter doesn't melt fully yet -- it takes longer to melt than ingredients like coconut oil or butter.
- Add the milk chocolate to the bowl. Microwave at 20-second intervals, stirring between each one, until the chocolate is completely melted. Let sit until the cacao butter melts fully.
- Stir in the ground coffee. Pour the mixture onto the parchment paper and spread out with a spoon.
- Place the baking sheet in the fridge until the chocolate is cold and completely hardened. Break the chocolate into pieces. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Place 1/2 of the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low until almost melted, about 1 minute; do not allow chocolate to burn. Remove from the microwave, stir to melt any remaining pieces, and let cool slightly.
- Drop a small handful of coffee beans into the chocolate and drench until completely covered. Fish out with a fork and drop onto waxed paper, making sure beans are separated. Repeat with remaining beans. Let cool until chocolate is solid, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt remaining chocolate in the microwave; do not allow to burn. Stir once and cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Drop a small amount of chocolate-covered coffee beans into the melted chocolate at a time, until completely covered with a second coating. Place on a new sheet of waxed paper and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50% is a good choice.
- Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped so that it melts evenly.
- Do not overheat the chocolate, or it will seize and become grainy.
- Add the coffee beans just before the chocolate sets, so that they don't sink to the bottom of the bark.
- Store the chocolate bark in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.
