Description

Ingredients

• 8 ounces good quality chocolate, melted (I used Green & Blacks Dark Chocolate)
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
• ¼ cup popped or toasted quinoa
• ½ cup shelled pistachios, chopped
• ¼ - ½ teaspoon sea salt

Directions

• Line an 8 inch pan with parchment paper. Mix melted chocolate with cayenne pepper and stir well. Pour chocolate in to prepared pan and smooth with a dry spatula. Top with popped or toasted quinoa, pistachios and sea salt.
• Chill for 30 minutes, or until set. Remove from pan and break into pieces.
• To pop quinoa: Heat coconut oil in a popcorn popper or heavy duty saucepan. Add quinoa and pop for about three to five minutes, until the seeds become golden brown. (If you are using a saucepan you will want to cover it and shake frequently to prevent burning.) Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
