Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups quinoa puffed
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips divided
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 2 ½ Tablespoons maple syrup or agave
Instructions
- Melt ½ cup chocolate in the microwave using 30 second intervals until melted. Stir in between each interval.
- In a bowl combine the melted chocolate, coconut oil, cocoa powder and maple syrup.
- Fold in the puffed quinoa.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to form the crisps into bite-size balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the crisp in the fridge for 20 -30 minutes to let the chocolate set.
- Melt the remaining ½ cup chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals, until melted. Stir in between each interval.
- Using your hands, dip each crisp into the melted chocolate to create a chocolate base and seal the crisp better. Place back on the baking sheet.
- Once you've added the base to all of the crisps, place the baking sheet back in the fridge for at least an hour to let the chocolate harden again.
