Description
These chocolate quinoa crisps are a simple, no-bake snack made with puffed quinoa and melted chocolate. They’re light, crunchy, and perfectly snackable — the kind of homemade treat that feels indulgent without being heavy. Quick to make, easy to customize, and all about that satisfying crunch.
Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups puffed quinoa
-
1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips (60–70% recommended)
-
Optional: pinch of flaky sea salt
-
Optional add-ins: finely chopped nuts or seeds (keep dry)
Instructions
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Make sure everything is completely dry.
-
Melt the chocolate gently using a microwave in short intervals or a double boiler, stirring until smooth and glossy.
-
Add the puffed quinoa to the melted chocolate and gently fold until evenly coated. Avoid crushing the quinoa.
-
Spoon small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
-
Let the chocolate quinoa crisps set at room temperature until firm, or chill briefly if your kitchen is warm.
-
Once set, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
-
Puffed quinoa is essential — cooked quinoa will not work.
-
For less sweetness, use darker chocolate.
-
Keep add-ins dry to protect the crunch.
-
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for best texture.
