Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Dark Chocolate Quinoa Crisps
  1. Start by breaking the dark chocolate into small pieces and placing them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on low power (20%) for 15-second intervals, stirring between each until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted, which should take about 1-2 minutes total.
  2. Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from the microwave and let it cool slightly. Fold in the puffed quinoa using a spatula, ensuring that all the quinoa is thoroughly coated with the melted chocolate.
  3. Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet where you will drop the mixture. Using a spoon, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the chocolate-quinoa mixture onto the sheet, spacing them about one inch apart.
  4. Once all the mixture is portioned out, place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the Dark Chocolate Quinoa Crisps to freeze for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 1 hour.
  5. After the crisps have set, carefully transfer them to an airtight container. Layer the crisps with parchment paper between each layer.
