Notes

Puffed quinoa is essential regular quinoa won’t give the right texture.

Swap puffed quinoa with puffed rice, nuts, or seeds for variation.

Use high-quality chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for best flavor.

These are best stored chilled to prevent melting.

Spread mixture in a pan and cut into bars for a different format.
