Start by gathering a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler. Place your dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar in the bowl, adding the optional coconut oil. Heat the chocolate gently in the microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. This should take about 1-2 minutes, but watch closely to prevent burning.

Once your chocolate is melted, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly. Gradually fold in the puffed quinoa with a spatula, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the luscious chocolate mixture.

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the chocolate-quinoa mixture onto the parchment, leaving space between each mound to allow for spreading.

Now it's time to let the crisps set. You can either leave them at room temperature for about 30 minutes or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for quicker results.

After the crisps have firmed up, they are ready to be enjoyed! Gently lift each piece off the parchment paper and serve as a delicious snack.
