A surprising spin on the classic crunchy confection, this bark candy gets its welcome crunch from an uncommon source: protein-rich quinoa. Quinoa is a gluten-free seed from a plant in the spinach family that is loaded with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Combined with nutritional powerhouses like ground peanuts, unsweetened coconut, and dark chocolate, quinoa elevates this bark candy to a sublime superfood treat that you can feel good about snacking on and sharing. Once the chocolate has set, store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week...if you can keep it around that long! It freezes well too.
