When you think of chocolate treats, you don’t usually think to yourself - I want some quinoa! Well, you’re about to be pleasantly surprised because quinoa makes a wonderful addition to chocolate. In fact, I’ve used the combo in the past with my chocolate quinoa bark recipe.
The process to make this recipe is easy. Let me walk you through it…The first step will be to cook quinoa. After that, things get really simple. This is a great time to get the kids in the kitchen to help you make these. Add all the ingredients (minus dark chocolate and flaked sea salt) to a food processor and blend until it starts to ball around the blade. Then, using a cookie dough scoop, take the mixture and roll each one into a ball.
The last step is to dip the bliss balls into melted dark chocolate. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt and pop in the fridge for 1 hour to allow them to completely harden. And voila! A really delicious treat that the whole family will be asking for.
