These super easy Pistachio and Quinoa Dark Chocolate Bars are packed full of nuts, seeds, and a generous layer of lush dark chocolate - the perfect little wholesome sweet treat.

If you have trouble finding quinoa puffs, try using rice puffs or something similar in their place. You could also use a raw chocolate layer instead of the dark chocolate if you prefer.

Enjoy, and let me know how you go!  @gatherandfeast  #gatherandfeast
