No Sugar Added Dark Chocolate Bars with Raspberry and Sea Salt
Delicious no sugar added dark chocolate bars that are filled with popped quinoa, raspberry powder and sea salt.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup ½ cup Tri-Colored Quinoa, popped popped (see recipe below)
- 1 tbsp Freeze Dried Raspberries powder (see recipe below)
- 2 cups Lily’s NoSugar Added Dark Chocolate Baking Chips
- 1/2 tbsp Canola Oil (or oil of choice)
- 1/2 tbsp Maldon SeaSalt Flakes
Instructions
-
Heat a wide sauté pan on medium high heat until very hot. Test the temperature by adding a drop of water. If it sizzles immediately, the pan is ready.
-
Pour the quinoa into the pan, making sure it stays in a single layer. Shake the pan regularly to avoid burning and let the quinoa pop for 1-2 minutes. You know it is done when it smells slightly nutty and the popping has slowed down, like making popcorn. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Turn the freeze-dried raspberries into powder by pulsing in a food processor. If you don’t have one, add the raspberries to a Ziplock bag and crush them with your hands or a rolling pin. Set aside.
-
Add chocolate and oil to microwave safe bowl. Microwave in increments of 20 seconds, stirring between each cycle, until chocolate has melted.
-
Line a small cookie sheet or baking dish with parchment or wax paper. Poor the melted chocolate onto the dish. Add the popped quinoa in a thin layer over the chocolate. Sprinkle raspberry powder and Maldon sea salt on top. Place in freezer for one hour.
-
Remove chocolate from freezer. Cut into desired shapes. Store leftovers in a Ziplock bag in the fridge or freezer.
