You've had chocolate nut clusters, right? A blob of nuts in a matrix of chocolate? Well, this is the same thing, but with dry-roasted soybeans.

Meltable chocolate
Parchment paper

First, rub the soybeans between your hands to remove the papery coverings, if they have any. Then melt some chocolate - I use chocolate melts, which you can get in the baking section of your supermarket - and drop the soybeans in, then fish them out, a tablespoonful at a time, and put the molten clusters on the parchment paper to harden. How much soybean per how much chocolate? That's completely up to you.

I came up with this after making chocolate covered bacon. I ran out of bacon while I still had some melted chocolate. On an impulse I poured soybeans in and mixed it all up. I quite liked the results, so I decided I'd keep it in mind for the next time I found myself in that predicament.
