Ingredients
- 1 cup puffed quinoa
- 1½ cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate bar
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, 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 in between until smooth and glossy. If you’re using coconut oil, stir it in now—it’ll give your chocolate a silkier texture and help it coat the quinoa more evenly.
- Combine with puffed quinoa: Once your chocolate is fully melted, fold in the puffed quinoa. Stir thoroughly to make sure every grain is evenly coated with chocolate, resulting in a crunchy, glossy mixture.
- Form crisps: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto a parchment-lined tray. You can shape these into tight domes for a neat appearance or keep them a bit rustic and jagged for a homemade charm.
- Set the crisps: Place the tray into the fridge and let the crisps set for about 30 minutes or until firm to the touch.
- Store and enjoy: Once firm, transfer the crisps to an airtight container. Keep them refrigerated for a snappy texture, or store at room temperature for a slightly softer bite.
Notes
- Using coconut oil is optional but helps the chocolate coat the quinoa evenly and adds silkiness.
- You can customize these crisps by adding a pinch of sea salt or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra flavor and crunch.
- Store crisps in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunchiness.
- Room temperature storage will soften the crisps slightly, refrigeration keeps them crisp.
