Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Dark Chocolate Quinoa
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil, if using. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue heating in 15-second intervals, stirring until the chocolate is completely smooth and glossy.
  2. Once melted, remove the bowl from the microwave and add puffed quinoa to the chocolate mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold the quinoa into the chocolate.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the chocolate-coated quinoa mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the dark chocolate quinoa crisps are firm to the touch.
  5. Once set, remove the crisps from the refrigerator and carefully peel them off the parchment paper.
