Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips

• 1/3 cup SIMPLi Regenerative Organic Certified ® White Quinoa

• 1 cup Halloween candy of your choice

Cooking Instructions

• Add quinoa to a small saucepan, cook over medium heat, stir consistently for about 5-7 minutes or until quinoa begins to get toasted. Remove immediately if it starts to burn.

• While quinoa is toasting, cut up candy bars into bite-sized chunks, prepare candies to place on chocolate.

• Near end of toasting quinoa, add chocolate chips to microwave safe glass bowl. Microwave for about 1-1.5 minutes, in 30-second intervals. Stir with spatula every 30 seconds. Remove from microwave when chocolate is almost all melted and shiny. Stir and set aside.

• Remove quinoa from saucepan. Pour into chocolate, and stir together. Get a ½ size baking sheet out, line it with a baking liner or parchment paper. Pour chocolate and quinoa mixture over baking sheet, spread thin with a spatula. Spread to about 2 cm or so thick.

• Sprinkle candies over chocolate, place in refrigerator for about an hour, or freezer for about 2 hours. Break up with hands, and serve immediately, or place in sealed container in the fridge for up to a week.
