Healthy Homemade Crunch Bars! Did you know store bought crunch bars are NOT gluten free & NOT vegan?!? SO let’s make our own. They're gluten free, dairy free, & refined sugar free, and so easy to make!

Equipment:

-Chocolate bar molds or parchment lined baking sheet, or muffin papers

2-INGREDIENT BARS

-1 cup dark chocolate of choice, dairy-free/vegan or sugar-free if desired

-1/2c puffed quinoa** or puffed rice*

5-INGREDIENT BARS (CHOC from SCRATCH)

-1/2 cup cocao butter (or sub coconut oil, but it will add a coconut flavour)

-1/2 cup cocao powder

-2-3 tbsp maple syrup (or sub honey or your fav sugar-free liquid sweetener)

-pinch of sea salt

-1/2c puffed quinoa** or puffed rice*

Makes 2-3 bars

*If you are vegan, watch for fortified/brand name cereals, as the added Vitamin D can be sourced from animals.

**We used Go Go Quinoa Puffs here. Careful with which brand you choose. We’ve gotten puffed quinoa in the past that was much smaller puffs and much less crunchy. These ones were really large & crunchy and a great rice crispy replacement if you are avoiding rice.

1. Combine and melt chocolate ingredients in a microwave safe bowl in 30-second increments or over a double boiler (everything except the puffed quinoa/rice). If you use chocolate chips and find it very thick, you can add 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter to thin it out and make it easier to work with. (Chocolate chips have added ingredients to help them keep their shape when baking.)

2. Add your cereal of choice and mix in well

3. Pour into molds, or into cupcake papers, or spread on parchment lined tray

4. Chill until set, then break/cut into pieces and enjoy!!
