Minimal effort. Maximum crunch.

What You’ll Need

• Puffed quinoa – https://amzn.to/3T8dOcZ

• Candy mold – https://amzn.to/3ZtUCd8

• Chocolate chips – https://amzn.to/3FBQLnI

• Almond butter – https://amzn.to/3HAC19f

The candy mold makes them extra cute and snackable, but you could also press this into a lined loaf pan and slice.

Ingredients

• 1 cup puffed quinoa

• ½ cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

• 1 ½ cups chocolate chips

• 1 tsp coconut oil

How to Make Crunch Bar Bites

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.

The coconut oil helps create that silky, snappy texture.

Step 2: Mix It Together

Stir the almond butter into the melted chocolate until fully combined.

Fold in the puffed quinoa and mix until everything is evenly coated. It should look thick, glossy, and crunchy.

Step 3: Fill the Molds

Spoon the mixture into your candy molds, pressing gently so they hold their shape.

If you don’t have molds, pour into a parchment-lined dish and smooth the top.

Step 4: Freeze

Place in the freezer for 30–60 minutes, or until fully set.

Pop them out and store in the fridge or freezer for the best texture.
