Easy

Ingredients

  • 3 cups organic puffed quinoa (I use Cereausly Puffed Quinoa)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips of choice (preferably made without refined sugar, I use Dark Chocolate Chips by Bake Believe)
  • 1 Tbsp organic coconut oil
  • Peanut Butter (Optional – to drizzle on top of crisps)
  • Sea Salt (Optional – to sprinkle on top of crisps)

Directions

  1. Measure puffed quinoa into large mixing bowl and set to side. Measure dark chocolate chips and coconut oil into microwave-safe dish. Heat chocolate and oil in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Pour chocolate mixture over quinoa and mix well.
  2. Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet or other dish safe for freezer. 
  3. Scoop quinoa chocolate mixture onto cookie sheet by heaping tablespoon (or desired size). I make my crisps roughly 2 inches in diameter. They do not come out as perfect circles, and that’s okay!
  4. Drizzle peanut butter over crisps, if using. Sprinkle sea salt over crisps, if using.
  5. Place in freezer for a half an hour. Remove from freezer and enjoy, or place in an airtight, freezer-safe dish and store for up to three weeks.
