• Through the top chute of the food processor, add the cacao powder, baobab powder and vanilla bean powder and continue processing until it is creamy and smooth.
• Remove the blade from the food processor, add the spirulina crunchies add-in, and gently stir in by hand until well combined and evenly distributed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Break up chocolate bar into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Add coconut oil to chocolate and place the bowl into the pan of simmering water. Stir the chocolate and allow to gently melt. Do not allow any water to enter the bowl or the chocolate will seize. When the chocolate is mostly melted, remove carefully from water and place on a towel on the counter (to absorb the water from the bowl). Continue to stir the chocolate until fully melted. (You can also melt in the microwave, use short 10 second increments, stirring after each.)
• Pour the melted chocolate over the quinoa mixture and combine until everything is coated in chocolate. Spread the mixture onto the cookie sheet and spread it out into one layer, separating out the cashews so the clumps aren't too big. Sprinkle with the addition tablespoon of coconut and cranberries for a prettier look. Place the pan in the refrigerator or freezer for the chocolate to harden. Once the chocolate has hardened, scrape off the pan with a thin spatula, and break up the pieces as desired.
