Berry Chocolate Bars
Studded with fresh berries, these fudge like chocolate bars are packed with nutrients and protein-rich peanut butter and puffed quinoa (or rice if you prefer).
Ingredients
- 180 g dark chocolate, I use Cadbury’s Bournville
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 185 g crunchy peanut butter
- 30 g puffed quinoa, or rice if you prefer
- 1 heaped cup or enough to cover top of berries; blueberries, raspberries & chopped strawberries
Instructions
- Add the chocolate to a medium microwave-proof mixing bowl, breaking the chocolate into squares while you go. Add in the coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir briefly and continue to microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Add the crunchy peanut butter and puffed quinoa or rice and stir it through until fully combined.
- Carefully tip the mixture into a lined rectangular loaf tin. Refrigerate for at least three hours or until set. When ready to serve, holding onto the edges of the baking paper, lift it up and out of the tin. Slice into smaller bars.
Notes
Lining the Tin - I like to cut two strips of baking paper, so one I lie lengthways and then the other I cross over in the middle and lie width ways. I also like to have them so they’re sticking up about 1 inch over the edge of the tin. That makes removing it really easy and doesn’t give you as uneven corners as using just one sheet of baking paper and crumpling it to fit the corners will.
