Cocoa Quinoa Puffs and Peanut Butter Squares

These easy, no-bake Cocoa Quinoa Puffs and Peanut Butter Squares are chewy, chocolatey, peanut buttery and gluten-free. They make a delicious afternoon snack!

These Cocoa Quinoa Puffs and Peanut Butter Squares are similar to rice crispy squares but use chocolate flavoured quinoa puffs instead of rice crispy cereal. I've included peanut butter in the recipe because chocolate and peanut butter are so delicious together.

You will love this recipe because it has only 5 ingredients and is very quick to prepare.   It also offers you a good dose of protein coming from both the cocoa quinoa puffed cereal and the peanut butter.

How to Store

Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature up to five days.
