Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup puffed quinoa
  • 1½ cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate bar
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for smoother texture)

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Begin by melting your dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and glossy. If you are including coconut oil, stir it in now to achieve a silkier texture that helps the chocolate coat the quinoa evenly.
  2. Mix in the Puffed Quinoa: Once the chocolate is fully melted, fold in the puffed quinoa carefully. Stir well to ensure every puffed grain is thoroughly coated in chocolate, creating a crunchy and glossy mixture.
  3. Form the Crisps: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the chocolate-quinoa mixture onto a parchment-lined tray. You can choose to shape them into tight domes for neatness or leave slightly rustic and jagged edges for a homemade look.
  4. Chill to Set: Place the tray into the refrigerator and allow the crisps to set for approximately 30 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch.
  5. Store Properly: Once the crisps are firm, transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the fridge to maintain a snappy texture or keep them at room temperature if you prefer a softer bite.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Coconut oil is optional but recommended for a smoother, more even coating.
  • Store crisps in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • These crisps are naturally gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly.
  • Adjust the amount of puffed quinoa depending on your desired crunchiness.
