INGREDIENTS.
WET MIX.
Chocolate:.
• 1 1/2 cup cocoa butter, grated & melted.
• 3/4 tbsp raw cacao powder.
• 6 tbsp agave.
• 1/4 tsp sea salt.
—
• 1 packed cup medjool dates, pitted.
• 2 tbsp cashew butter.
—————
• 2 1/2 cups puffed quinoa.
GARNISH (OPTIONAL!)
METHOD
Chocolate: Mix all chocolate ingredients in a bowl. I melted the cacao butter in 10 second bursts in the microwave. Divide chocolate in 1/2.
Wet Mix comes together:Add dates and cashew butter to a food processor. Pulse until a thick paste forms. Add in one half of the chocolate mixture. Mix until completely combined and forms a paste, scraping down the sides often.
Remove from food processor, add in the puffed quinoa, and finish combining it with your hands.
Pat down mixture tightly into a parchment-lined loaf pan. Let rest in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Cut into bars.
Chocolate-Dipped:With the remaining 1/2 of chocolate (you may need to stick in the microwave for 5-10 seconds to re-melt), dip each bar in to coat completely with chocolate.
If you’d like to add toppings, do this while the chocolate is still melted on the bars (so it sticks well!)
Enjoyyyy xoxo
P.S. They store beautifully in the fridge for 1 week and in the freezer for whenever you want to pop them out! @ Barcelona, Spain
