I saw this recipe on instagram a few weeks back and really wanted to make them as I used to love rice krispie squares when I was younger. Finally made it and it tastes even better than I thought it would. I found it difficult to get quinoa pops. I eventually got them in Planet Organic however, it is possible to pop ordinary quinoa in a hot saucepan. See below
