Crispy, chocolatey, and ready in minutes — no baking required!
📝 Ingredients (3 Simple Ones!)
2 cups dark chocolate (chips or chopped)
Use 70%+ cacao for Mediterranean-style antioxidants
1 cup puffed rice cereal (or puffed quinoa for a healthier option)
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Adds a rich Mediterranean flavor & keeps bars soft and glossy

Place chocolate and olive oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
OR melt over a double boiler.
2. Mix In the Crunch
Add puffed rice (or puffed quinoa) into the melted chocolate.
Stir until everything is completely coated.
