Cocoa Quinoa Puffs and Peanut Butter Squares on cutting board.

Originally my plans for today involved me getting out to run some errands.  But then I opened the door, and quickly changed my mind.  You see where I live it felt like -35°C (with the wind chill) this morning.  Nothing I have to do is that pressing, so I decided to stay indoors and try this recipe for Cocoa Quinoa Puffs and Peanut Butter Squares that I've been thinking about making.

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. But mostly you will love these Cocoa Quinoa Puffs and Peanut Butter Squares because they are chewy, chocolatey and peanut buttery. And for those who have a gluten intolerance, they are gluten-free!
