Quinoa Cocoa Puffs

When you want a little treat, but nothing too sweet, just pop 1 or 2 (or 5!) of these in your mouth.

1 cup puffed quinoa
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tsps cocoa powder
1 tbsp chopped peanuts
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp honey

1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 tsp vegetable oil

Mix the dry ingredients together and set aside.

Cream together the peanut butter, vanilla and honey and add to the dry ingredients.

Roll up into teaspoon sized balls, scraping the mixture off your hands regularly to make the job easier. (Sorry, no pictures of the actual rolling....didn't want to get the camera all mucked up)

Set on a plate in the fridge to chill.

Meanwhile melt together the chocolate chips and vegetable oil.  Stir until smooth.

Dip each ball into the chocolate, either from a spoon like I did or directly into your cup or bowl.

Place in the fridge to set.
