Ingredients

  • 2 cups Puffed Quinoa 140g
  • 7 oz Dark Chocolate 200g
  • ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
Cups - Grams

Instructions

  • Check your puffed quinoa. In order for the quinoa crisps to be crunchy, it needs to be crisp, but I find a lot of brands of puffed quinoa are more chewy than crisp, so I added a step to toast it to make sure it is lovely and crunchy. If your quinoa is already perfectly crisp, you can skip the toasting.
  • Put the puffed quinoa in a dry frying pan over medium heat, stirring frequently for a few minutes until it is dried out and crispy. Do not let it burn.
  • Chop the chocolate finely and place ⅔ of it in a plastic bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well in between, until it is totally melted.
  • Add the remaining third of the chocolate to the bowl and stir it in vigorously with a spoon until melted. This works best if your chocolate is finely chopped, but if you are left with any unmelted lumps, you can just remove them.
  • Pour the toasted quinoa into the melted chocolate along with the sea salt and mix everything together until completely coated.
  • Scoop out teaspoon-sized dollops of the mixture and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use the back of the spoon to press them down into flat disks.
  • Chill until set - about 30 minutes.
