Ingredients
- 150g dark chocolate
- 4 tbsp cashew butter
- 25g popped quinoa
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Break up the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heat-proof bowl. Microwave on high in short bursts, stirring every few seconds to ensure the chocolate melts evenly without burning.
- Mix Cashew Butter: Add the cashew butter to the melted chocolate and stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Fold in Popped Quinoa: Gently fold the popped quinoa into the chocolate and cashew butter mixture, ensuring all quinoa pieces are evenly coated.
- Shape and Chill: Spread the mixture evenly into flat disks on a baking sheet or chopping board lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the bites are firm and set.
- Serve: Once set, enjoy your crunchy, chocolaty quinoa bites as a guilt-free snack or dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute cashew butter with almond or peanut butter if preferred.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate during melting to avoid burning.
- Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For added texture, consider mixing in small nuts or seeds along with the popped quinoa.
