These chocolate quinoa crisps are a sweet no-bake dessert made with puffed quinoa, dark chocolate, and secret ingredient (coconut flakes!) They have the nostalgic feel of a rice crispy treat, but have been elevated to an adult level healthy snack ready in just 20 minutes!
No-Bake Chocolate Quinoa Crispy Treats
Same basic idea behind the Crispy Treats we grew up with…just healthier!
This quinoa has been puffed, similar to puffed rice cereal – pretty cool, right!?
Puffed quinoa is packed with high-quality protein, fiber, and iron so it not only tastes great but is also great for you!
It’s a gluten-free grain, and its crunchy + tastes nutty.
I found mine on Amazon, but you can also ask for it at your favorite health food store.

- 1 cup high-quality dark chocolate chips, or lily’s brand: cleanfoodcrush.com/lilys

How to Make Chocolate Quinoa Crisps
