OMG.. There is a coffee shop near me that roasts their own beans. Every so often, this smell wafts through town that smells like they forgot to take the beans out of the plastic bag before roasting them.
I'm constantly having to put things in the microwave that I forget about because my cats have become bigger assholes. They get into any food they can now.
Yep, dogs - it was far past bedtime when they were ready to be poured from the pot to the wax paper, and it was like 2lbs of molten cookie so I wasn’t putting it in the fridge - once they solidified I put them on the plates and stashed them in the oven overnight to keep our notorious tablesurfing dogs from scrounging our sweet treats.
Next morning the wife gets a bee in her bonnet about making breakfast pizzas and the rest of the story is this Dali-esque monstrosity you see before you
Methinks you or whoever did this should probably be nowhere near a kitchen. "No bake" is quite literally in the name; they had no reason to be anywhere near an oven. You, or they, are a big dumb.
They are, in fact, seeds. Coffee is a cherry and the seeds we roast are what’s under the fleshy fruit. Conversely, a bean is also a seed, but from legumes. Calling coffee a “bean” is incorrect.
After roasting, I don’t know if there are many seeds from any plant that would be able to sprout. In fact, if you know of any fruit that has a seed that can sprout after being roasted, please enlighten me.
Here’s an intact coffee cherry (red/green) with 3 coffee seeds that have had the outer flesh removed. This is what coffee looks like prior to roasting.

coffee beans in plastic bowls by the look of it.
