Ingredients
- 1/4 cup toasted quinoa
- 10 ounce bag dark chocolate chips (about 1 ¾ cups)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 2 Tbsp. chopped dried cherries
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper or have candy molds ready.
- Toast the quinoa on the stove top by pouring into a skillet and toasting over medium heat until quinoa starts to "pop" and turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until all chocolate is melted and is smooth. Remove from heat, being careful not to get any water in the chocolate.
- Quickly stir in toasted quinoa and chopped dried cherries. Spread the chocolate mixture on a large pan lined with waxed paper or fill candy molds. Chill and break into bite-sized pieces or remove from candy molds. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
