Then you have to try these three dishes that’s secret ingredient happens to be coffee.

Ancho Coffee-Rubbed Chicken

Coating chicken with coffee may seem strange, but it results in a tasty, well-balanced meal. Ancho chili powder has lots of heat without being too spicy, which makes it pair well with coffee.

Coffee-Candied Bacon

Bacon is amazing on its own, but coffee-candied bacon is even better. For this recipe, bacon is coated in brown sugar and a spicy coffee rub for a result that tastes like a mix between candy and a savory snack.

Coffee-Glazed Nuts

While we love candied nuts, sometimes they can be too sweet, but the bitterness of coffee balances out the glaze of coffee-glazed nut for a sweet and salty snack that tastes amazing with cocktails or champagne.
