These treats were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some spices or extracts next time I make them.

I'm not a fan of chocolate, but I really enjoyed these treats. The quinoa gives them a nice nutty flavor that balances out the sweetness of the chocolate.

These treats were a little too crumbly for my taste. I think I might have needed to add a little more liquid to the batter.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I could fix that by using less chocolate chips. Overall, they're a good healthy snack option.

These treats were a little too dry for my taste, but I think I might have overcooked the quinoa. I'll try again soon and see if I can get them just right.
