What do you get when you mix quinoa with chocolate?

You get people going crazy for these delicious no-bake chocolate quinoa snack balls!

For Meatless Monday this week I posted a photo on my Facebook page of these quinoa snack balls I had made the day before. Well, this post went as “viral” as I’m probably ever going to get in this lifetime.  I tell you, people go crazy for quinoa! These delicious little snack balls are a mix of chocolate and quinoa with dried cherries and oatmeal. They are my favorite treat to whip up when I’ve made a little too much quinoa. I store them in the fridge and enjoy 1-2 in the afternoon with some tea. They are the perfect pick-me-up!

Since I got over 40 “shares” of this recipe, I thought the least I could do was share how I made them with you, my awesome blog readers.   🙂
