I know it’s not the best thing to eat to nourish your body during periods of high level stress, but my God does chocolate help my soul and mental well being! It becomes my bestest friend 😛

I almost feel like chocolate is the only thing getting me by right now! It’s sad to say, but it’s definitely the highlight of my day (the rhyme wasn’t intentional, promise haha!).

My chocolate crunch doughnuts have been my most popular recipe of all time (so far). You guys seemed to have fallen head over heals in love with it! I can totally see why though, it’s one of my favourite recipes too and it’s so simple. It doesn’t get easier than a 3-ingredient recipe.

Oh wait…actually…it does!

As you may have already figured out, the recipe couldn’t be simpler to make. It’s literally quinoa pops folded in melted chocolate and shaped into bites. The crunch in them makes them so addictive and satisfying. Exactly what I need right now. They’re my current favourite study snack, no doubt about that!

I don’tthink I really need to say anything else about these beauties to convince you to try them. Just have a look at them. You know you want them. So GO! Go make them now!! 😀

2-ingredient Chocolate Quinoa Crunch Bites

Ingredients:

200g (7oz) dark chocolate, malted – I used 70%dark chocolate
35g (1 1/2 cups) quinoa pops

Method:

Melt the chocolate and leave to cool for a couple of minutes, then fold in the quinoa pops.
Usea small ice cream scoop to shape into small bite, and arrange onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Move to the fridge and allow to set for 15-30 minutes.
Enjoy!

Chocolate and quinoa are an unlikely pair, but they definitely complement each other superbly! These remind me of those chocolate clusters that include pumpkin seeds, almonds, coconut, or pretzels that are just far too easy to finish in an entire bag. I definitely would enjoy more than one piece of these quinoa crunch bites–they look too irresistible!

  I agree! I think they go so well together and love the crunch the quinoa pops add 😀

  I used shop bought quinoa pops, not plain dried quinoa. It’s like rice puffs/rice krispies. You can get it from Amazon and health shops.

What are quinoa pops? How do you make them?

You can puff your own quinoa quite easily. Rinse and dry your quinoa thoroughly, unless yours is pre-washed. Heat a heavy pan on medium heat. Add enough quinoa to just cover the surface of the pan. No oil needed. Stir continuously until most of the quinoa grains have popped (tiny little pops here) and turned light brown. Set aside to cool completely.

I’ve read you can pop them in a skillet like popcorn (anyone remember Jiffy-Pop, or am I dating myself?!?). Haven’t actually tried doing it myself, but I plan to!
- NadiaJanuary 21, 2020 at 3:24 pm - Reply
  I think you can, but I haven’t tried it myself either Lori. I’ll have to give it a go 🙂 Let me know if you try it xx

What is malted dark chocolate?
- NadiaJanuary 28, 2024 at 4:21 pm - Reply
  It’s dark chocolate that’s melted in the microwave 🙂 I usually use chocolate bars with 70% cocoa solids, but you can use whichever you like.
