Add the dry quinoa to a hot, heavy-bottomed pan and shake frequently until popping slows, it will take 2-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in short intervals, stirring between each one, or use a double boiler on stove top.
Reserve 1 tablespoon quinoa for topping(optional). Add the remaining popped quinoa and gently stir until evenly coated.
Spoon the mixture into small clusters of approx 2 tablespoons onto a parchment-lined tray or into mini molds.
Refrigerate until the chocolate is completely firm.
Remove from the tray or molds and enjoy. Store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also freeze them in a freezer-safe container. Let them sit briefly before eating if you prefer a slightly softer texture.
