Ingredients
- 1 cup puffed quinoa
- 1½ cups dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
- Optional: 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for smoother texture)
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Start by melting your dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well between each interval until the chocolate becomes smooth and glossy. If you choose to use coconut oil, stir it in now to make the chocolate silkier and ensure a more even coating on the quinoa.
- Combine with Puffed Quinoa: Once the chocolate is fully melted and well combined with coconut oil if using, fold in the puffed quinoa. Stir the mixture thoroughly to coat every grain with chocolate, creating a crunchy, glossy blend.
- Shape the Crisps: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop small mounds of the chocolate-quinoa mixture onto a parchment-lined tray. You can shape them into neat domes or leave the edges rustic for a charming homemade look.
- Set in the Fridge: Place the tray in the fridge and let the crisps set for about 30 minutes or until they are firm to the touch.
- Store and Serve: Once firm, transfer the crisps to an airtight container. Keep them refrigerated to maintain a snappy texture or store at room temperature if you prefer a softer bite.
Notes
- Using coconut oil is optional but recommended for a creamier texture and better coating.
- Make sure to stir the chocolate thoroughly when melting to avoid burning.
- These crisps can be stored in the fridge for up to one week.
- For a vegan version, ensure your chocolate chips are dairy-free.
- These crisps do not require baking or cooking, making them a quick and fuss-free snack option.
