Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) is rich in cocoa polyphenols and adds a rich chocolate flavour while contributing antioxidants.

Popped quinoa adds a satisfying crunch and is a natural source of protein, fibre and essential minerals.

A little coconut oil helps create a smooth, glossy chocolate coating and gives the snaps their crisp texture once chilled.

Together, these simple ingredients create a delicious snack that’s as nourishing as it is enjoyable.
