Description
Holiday Bark w/Toasted Quinoa
Ingredients
20 ounces Dark Chocolate chips/cocoa nibs
1⁄4 cup Quinoa (rinsed, then toasted)
1⁄4 cup Pistachios (crushed)
1⁄4 cup Dried Mediterranean Apricots (diced)
Notes
The Chocolate Chips were made by a brand called "Enjoy Life"
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Rinse your quinoa thoroughly until water runs clear.
Lay out the quinoa on a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper).
Toast them in the oven for 10 minutes.
Crush your pistachios (I did this in a ziploc bag).
Dice your apricots.
Melt the chocolate chips over a double boiler, or use two stock pots like I did. Put water in the bottom one, the chocolate in the top.
Stir frequently.
Once it is just about all the way melted/smooth, remove from heat and stir in the toasted quinoa.
Then, pour the chocolate mixture flat onto a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Spread flat with a spoon or spatula.
Sprinkle pistachios and apricots evenly onto chocolate.
Gently press the toppings into the chocolate.
Put in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Then break into pieces and enjoy!
