Coconut blossom sugar is extracted from the blossoms of the coconut palm and is an alternative to white cane sugar. No this is not a quote from someone else 🙂 this actually sums up my food philosophy and why I started this food blog. We track calories and 7 key nutrients - carbs, sugar, fibre, protein, fat, saturated fat and sodium. But for an option that’s a bit healthier, these 2-ingredient, homemade chocolate crunch bars are it!

Keep in mind these bars can melt a bit if it happens to be a hot day, similar to any regular chocolate bar. Try out this homemade crunchy chocolate delight and share it with your friends and family this Christmas. Ready in no time, this chocolatey goodness requires only three ingredients and is the best crunchy substitute to your regular sugar and dairy packed candies and bars. When you toast the quinoa for this recipe, they become crunchy little tidbits reminiscent of those puffed rice pieces in Nestle Crunch bars.With two individually wrapped biscuits per serving, they’re great snacks for the whole family when on the go or unwinding together after a busy day. I am very happy that we have found packaging options made from renewable materials that do not require fossil fuels for their production. Next step, stir the puffed rice and toasted peanuts into the melted chocolate and keep stirring until evenly mixed. However, we will continue to look for the best possible solutions for you in the future - from content to packaging.

Diet-friendly: For that extra flavour, you can also add a spoonful of peanut butter into your chocolate mix to give it that extra protein. These quinoa chocolate bars are another healthy homemade copycat recipe that comes together in just minutes! As such, all Nucao bars meet high social and environmental standards and are synonymous with a commitment to responsible action, transparency and continual improvement.The perfect combination of smooth creamy vegan chocolate with crunchy crispy pieces and juicy raisins. All foods are fine within the context of a balanced diet, but this is a good way to get more volume of food for your calories!

But the regular choco munch bars and rice Krispies are so high in sugar and gluten content that the entire diet goes out for a toss. Whole grain rolled oats (56%), sugar, sunflower oil, dark chocolate pieces (7%)(cocoa mass, sugar, emulsifier ( soy lecithin), natural vanilla flavouring), fat reduced cocoa powder, honey, salt, molasses, emulsifier (sunflower lecithin), raising agent (sodium bicarbonate), natural flavouring.Instead of using rice krispies (which are smaller and contain sugar and sometimes sneaky gluten), I’m using plain puffed rice so the chocolate bars aren’t overly sweet. These are refined sugar-free and have some healthy fats and protein from the peanut, which is always a good approach to help our systems absorb sugar more slowly.

Originally, I suggested adding raw quinoa to a hot pan to toast, but I’ve found that soaking the quinoa overnight makes it more tender! To freeze: Make sure to place parchment paper in between each bar before storing in a freezer-safe container. Additionally, the inclusion of crunchy cereals within the bar introduces another layer of texture, making each bite a complex and satisfying experience. I happened to have some chocolate chips, and it may vary by brand but 1/2 cup worked out to 93g so multiplying by 3 and rounding up, gives me 279g.

This naturally does not affect the organic quality of the fair ingredients, the plastic-free packaging or the 100% vegan manufacturing.
