Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Start by melting your dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well in between until smooth and glossy. If using coconut oil, stir it in now to give the chocolate a silkier texture and help it coat the quinoa more evenly.
  2. Combine Quinoa and Chocolate: Once the chocolate is fully melted, fold in the puffed quinoa. Stir thoroughly to ensure every grain is coated with chocolate, forming a crunchy, glossy mixture.
  3. Form Crisps: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto a parchment-lined tray. Shape them into tight domes or leave slightly rustic and jagged for a homemade look.
  4. Chill the Crisps: Place the tray in the refrigerator and let the crisps set for about 30 minutes or until firm to the touch.
  5. Store and Serve: Once firm, transfer the crisps to an airtight container. Store them in the fridge for a snappy texture or at room temperature if you prefer a softer bite.

Notes

  • You can substitute dark chocolate chips with a high-quality chopped chocolate bar for richer flavor.
  • Adding coconut oil is optional but recommended for smoother chocolate coating and easier mixing.
  • Store crisps in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
  • These crisps do not require baking, making them a great quick and no-fuss snack option.
