How to Make Biscoff Chocolate Quinoa Clusters
Time needed: 10 minutes
Plus 1 hour Chill Time
- Prep your tray
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to drop your clusters on.
- Crush the Biscoff cookies
Add your cookies to a zip-top bag and crush them using a mallet, rolling pin, or anything heavy. Aim for pea-sized chunks, not crumbs. You want crunchy pieces throughout.
- Melt the chocolate
Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each until completely smooth and glossy. Or melt using the double boiler method on the stove.
- Melt the Biscoff/speculoo spread
Add the Biscoff spread to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 20–30 seconds to make it easier to mix with the other ingredients.
- Mix together
Mix the Biscoff cookie butter, melted chocolate and puffed quinoa and mix until everything is coated. Fold in the crushed Biscoff cookies last so they stay crunchy.
- Scoop and sprinkle
Use a small cookie scoop to portion the mixture onto your lined tray. While soft, top each cluster with festive Christmas sprinkles.
- Chill
Refrigerate for 1 hour, or freeze for 30 minutes, until the chocolate has hardened.
Storage Tips
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Freezer: Freeze unfrosted bars for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
Variations
- White Chocolate Biscoff Clusters – white chocolate pairs so well with Biscoff flavor.
- Extra Crunchy – add 2 tbsp chopped pecans, almonds or your favorite nuts.
- Dairy-Free Version – use dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Make different flavors of this easy Christmas candy by using a different spread, such as Nutella or pistachio.
