Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Place 2 bags of cooked quinoa on paper towels for 5 minutes to absorb excess liquid.
Line 17.25” x 11.5” nonstick rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange cooked quinoa in an even layer on parchment, leaving a 1-inch border.
Place chocolate chips and 1 1/4 teaspoons coconut oil in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until just melted.
Pour melted chocolate over quinoa. Use rubber spatula to mix chocolate & quinoa together completely so all quinoa is covered by chocolate. Spread back into an even layer, smoothing top with spatula.
Gently press pretzel pieces and cranberries on top, followed by sea salt.
Place white chocolate chips in small microwave-safe bowl with remaining 1/4 teaspoon coconut oil. Melt on high in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until just melted. Use fork or spoon to drizzle white chocolate over the top.
Chill at least 1 hour before slicing into triangles. Refrigerate leftover bark before serving. Serves 10+

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Separate layers of bark with parchment paper so they do not stick together.
