4 Ingredient Toffee Crisp
These quinoa date bars are the perfect combination of sweet, sticky, and crunchy. With just four ingredients, they’re incredibly easy to make and even easier to enjoy. The dark chocolate coating adds a touch of indulgence, making them a treat you’ll want to have on hand for those moments when you need something sweet but still wholesome.
Ingredients
Ingredients for base:
- 12 large medjool dates pitted
- ½ cup smooth almond butter 120g
- 1.5 cups puffed quinoa 40g
Topping:
- 125 g dark chocolate
Instructions
- Toast the puffed quinoa for 5 mins in the oven at 180C/350F so it’s crispy (don’t miss this step)
- Add the dates and almond butter to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add 1-2 tbsp of water as you blend if needed (only if your dates are harder. You don’t want the mix to be too wet as it will make the quinoa soggy).
- Add the puffed quinoa and pulse to mix well. Shape in mini bars and refrigerate whilst you melt the chocolate
- Melt the chocolate and dip each of the bars and place back in the fridge to set
Notes
- Make sure your dates are soft for easier blending. If they’re a bit hard, soaking them in warm water for a few minutes can help.
- The toasting of the puffed quinoa is crucial for that perfect crunch!
