Chocolate Quinoa Almond Butter Cups

These are dangerous. Seriously, you will not be able to eat just one. You’ve been warned.

With that said, they are also so delicious I have a hard time not eating them all in one go. I’m having a moment with puffed quinoa and the addition of it in this dessert is crispy and crunchy in all the ways that made me first fall in love with Butterfingers while still being a bit healthier than any wrapped candy bar. Maple syrup and dark chocolate add additional sweetness while almond butter brings a salty mix that perfectly balances each bite.

While the recipe below is for the cups, sometimes, if I’m feeling lazy I will literally mix all the ingredients in a bowl and plop spoonfuls on a plate and then freeze and eat, dessert in 60 seconds flat! So rather than having you scroll through an endless story about these cups, we’re going to get straight to the recipe. Enjoy!
