2-ingredient Chocolate Quinoa Crunch Bites
If you like chocolate and you like crunchy treats, then you NEED these 2-ingredient chocolate quinoa crunch bites in your life!
I’ve been really stressed out recently with clinic work and assessments, so I’ve been craving ALL THE CHOCOLATE! I know it’s not the best thing to eat to nourish your body during periods of high level stress, but my God does chocolate help my soul and mental well being! It becomes my bestest friend 😛
I almost feel like chocolate is the only thing getting me by right now! It’s sad to say, but it’s definitely the highlight of my day (the rhyme wasn’t intentional, promise haha!).
My chocolate crunch doughnuts have been my most popular recipe of all time (so far). You guys seemed to have fallen head over heals in love with it! I can totally see why though, it’s one of my favourite recipes too and it’s so simple. It doesn’t get easier than a 3-ingredient recipe.
Oh wait…actually…it does!
Allow me to introduce you to these deliciously, crunchy and addictive chocolate quinoa crunch bites using only 2 ingredients. Yes…ONLY. TWO. INGREDIENTS. As you may have already figured out, the recipe couldn’t be simpler to make. It’s literally quinoa pops folded in melted chocolate and shaped into bites. The crunch in them makes them so addictive and satisfying. Exactly what I need right now. They’re my current favourite study snack, no doubt about that!
I don’t think I really need to say anything else about these beauties to convince you to try them. Just have a look at them. You know you want them. So GO! Go make them now!! 😀
2-ingredient Chocolate Quinoa Crunch Bites
Ingredients:
200g (7oz) dark chocolate, malted – I used 70% dark chocolate
35g (1 1/2 cups) quinoa pops
Method:
Melt the chocolate and leave to cool for a couple of minutes, then fold in the quinoa pops.
Use a small ice cream scoop to shape into small bite, and arrange onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Move to the fridge and allow to set for 15-30 minutes.
Enjoy!
Quinoa pops are not familiar to me. Is there a recipe for them or where can I purchase them?

How have I never heard of puffed oats?! I can’t see why not 🙂 Need to try them myself
I am also not familiar with Quinoa pops, can I make them?!!

Where do I find, or how do make Quinta pops?
I got them from Amazon, there’s a link in the ingredients list. You should be able to find them in health shops also 🙂
Chocolate and quinoa are an unlikely pair, but they definitely complement each other superbly! These remind me of those chocolate clusters that include pumpkin seeds, almonds, coconut, or pretzels that are just far too easy to finish in an entire bag. I definitely would enjoy more than one piece of these quinoa crunch bites–they look too irresistible!
I agree! I think they go so well together and love the crunch the quinoa pops add 😀
Do you cook the Quinoa?
I bought them ready popped from Amazon – there’s a link in the ingredients list. Or you can find it in health food shops 🙂

Absolutely in love with these treats!
Lots of love,
Bianca ❤️
Thank you lovely Bianca 😀
Omg these remind me of the chocolate Crunch! I loveee crunchy chocolate!!! Thanks!

The quinoa don’t need to be cooked before?
do i have to cook the quinoa ? or simply add it to the chocolate as it is
Should I boil the quinoa or use it as it is ??
I used shop bought quinoa pops, not plain dried quinoa. It’s like rice puffs/rice krispies. You can get it from Amazon and health shops.
How long are these good for in the fridge? / when should I start to freeze them
I just made these and they are so quick and easy. Great to grab one from the bag in the freezer. Found puffed quinoa at Walmart!
How many balls should this recipe make?
What exactly is quinoa pops ? They surely look delicious to try them out.
They’re puffed quinoa, like rice krispies or puffed rice.
Oh Nadia, these look delicious and very moreish. Is it possible to pop some quinoa in an air popcorn maker? ?Or am I being silly ?
Don’t get quinoa pops where I’m at.
Any idea how to pop them?
You can use rice pops instead
What are quinoa pops? How do you make them?
You can puff your own quinoa quite easily. Rinse and dry your quinoa thoroughly, unless yours is pre-washed. Heat a heavy pan on medium heat. Add enough quinoa to just cover the surface of the pan. No oil needed. Stir continuously until most of the quinoa grains have popped (tiny little pops here) and turned light brown. Set aside to cool completely.
I’ll have to give this a go! Thank you Ronnie 🙂
I’ve read you can pop them in a skillet like popcorn (anyone remember Jiffy-Pop, or am I dating myself?!?). Haven’t actually tried doing it myself, but I plan to!
I think you can, but I haven’t tried it myself either Lori. I’ll have to give it a go 🙂 Let me know if you try it xx
Well, who don’t loves eating chocolates. And I am really excited for trying these new crunchies. That’s too lovely you shared.
Thanks Rahul 😀
This looks so good! I love that the ingredient list is so simple and healthy!
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
What is malted dark chocolate?
It’s dark chocolate that’s melted in the microwave 🙂 I usually use chocolate bars with 70% cocoa solids, but you can use whichever you like.
These came together so quickly perfect snack for y son (and all of us). This one is a keeper.
PS, I took the lazy way out and ordered the puffed quinoa on Amazon.
So glad you enjoyed them Liz 😀 Nothing wrong with taking a shortcut 😉 xx
