QUINOA TRUFFLES

1 cup prepared Quinoa, room temperature
3 T Brown Sugar
3/4 cup All Natural, Creamy Peanut Butter
2/3 cup Chocolate Chips, add more if you like
1 cup Kellogg's Rice Krispies
Cocoa Powder for rolling
Powdered Sugar for dusting

Mix Quinoa, brown sugar, peanut butter, chocolate chips and Rice Krispies together in a large bowl.

Form into balls of desired size.

Roll in cocoa powder.

Cool in refrigerator at least one hour.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

AGGIE'S VERSION: I substitute chocolate chips for 90% dark chocolate, and add only 1 tsp of light brown sugar. I also skip the cocoa powder and powder sugar. Yum. The recipe makes about 20 truffles.
