  • 3 ounces dark chocolate (70% or higher is preferred)
  • 1/4 cup quinoa
  • Pinch of coarse sea salt

Directions

  • Heat a large skillet on medium high heat.
  • Once it is heated, add in just enough quinoa to cover bottom without overcrowding pan. This is an important step so the key so make sure to use a big pan and work in stages.
  • You will start to hear the quinoa pop and also notice them slightly jump.  Keep moving pan around for a minute or so, so that they all pop.
  • Then transfer into a bowl and continue with rest of quinoa (You will notice a nutty smell as the quinoa heats and pops. The size will not change but the quinoa will become slightly browned.).
  • Now in a double broiler or microwave melt the chocolate.
  • Once melted mix in the quinoa and salt.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper in a baking dish or plate pour chocolate into quarter size circles.
  • Then place in fridge to harden.
  • Keep stored in fridge until you plan to enjoy.
