Ingredients

1¾ cups dark chocolate (250g)
3 cups puffed quinoa (75g)
½ cup smooth natural peanut butter (120g)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Put the puffed quinoa on a baking tray and bake for 5-6 mins to lightly toast (don’t skip this step as it makes the bars lovely and crunchy).
Whilst the quinoa is toasting, add the chocolate to a large bowl and melt over a pan of hot water. Add the peanut butter to the chocolate and mix to fully combine. Pour in the quinoa and stir to mix in fully.
Pour into a 20cm (8 inch) square baking tin and leave to set in the fridge, for at least an hour.
Once they are hard you can cut into 12 squares.

Notes

Store in the fridge.
They will last for about 6-7 days.
You can substitute almond or cashew butter for peanut, if you prefer.
