✨ Method:
1️⃣ Prep the quinoa

Melt white chocolate with matcha powder over a double boiler, stirring until smooth and glossy.
5️⃣ Mix everything
Add puffed quinoa and nut butter to the melted chocolate. Stir until evenly coated.
6️⃣ Shape the bites
Scoop small portions onto a parchment-lined tray using a spoon or ice cream scoop.
