INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons of quinoa
1.5 cups (270g) of chocolate
3 tablespoons of peanut butter
SUPPLIES
A skillet
A mold
A bench scraper
A piping bag
A silicone mat
DIRECTIONS
Place a skillet on medium to medium-high heat and let it get up to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the quinoa and shake the skillet every few seconds to keep the quinoa from scorching.
It shouldn’t take long at all before you start to hear little crackling sounds and see the quinoa hopping around. It’s kind of like popping corn, but less violent.
When the action slows to a halt, remove the pan from the heat and decant the quinoa into a container.
Melt or temper your chocolate and pour it into the mold.
Invert the mold and tap it to let the excess chocolate flow onto the silicone mat. We’re basically coating the sides of the mold with chocolate while leaving room for the filling.
Scrape the excess chocolate from the mold and leave the chocolate to set.
Place the peanut butter in a piping bag and add a little to each mold cavity. If your peanut butter is too thick to pipe, give it a few seconds in the microwave. Be sure not to add too much or you won’t be able to cover it in the next step.
Remelt the chocolate that drained from the mold and carefully cover the peanut butter, going all the way to the top of the mold.
Give the mold a few taps to smooth out the chocolate.
When the chocolate is set, remove the bars from the mold.
