Hershey Recipes

I like to make recipes that you would not expect. Which is why I have wanted to do a savory chocolate dish. Drawing inspiration from Hershey recipes, I am from Pennsylvania after all. 

Hotel Hershey does some amazing savory chocolate dishes like the famous chocolate dusted scallops! So it was inspiration like those types of Hershey recipes that inspired the bbq sauce ingredients for these cocktail meatballs.

BBQ Sauce Ingredients

Chocolate and a coffee rub are actually not that unusual for bbq sauce ingredients. You have the sweet and savory going on in the BBQ with those ingredients. So why not take those bbq sauce ingredients and make unique bbq meatballs!

Coffee Rub

How did a coffee rub inspire these cocktail meatballs? Honestly, it was a coffee rub beef roast that made me think, why not add a little coffee to the BBQ sauce! You do after all add chocolate to coffee so why not!

 

BBQ Meatballs

So how does the coffee and chocolate as bbq sauce ingredients taste? Honestly, they taste amazing in these bbq meatballs! I know this isn’t one of the official Hershey recipes, but should be. 

Do you want to make a splash at a party? You should make these bbq meatballs. They really are a crowd pleaser!
