Ingredients
- 6 plain rice cakes (unsalted or lightly salted)
- 1 cup dark, milk, or white chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- Optional toppings: sea salt, crushed nuts, shredded coconut, dried fruit, chia seeds, peanut butter
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place rice cakes on it.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth, or use a double boiler.
- Stir in coconut oil if using to make the chocolate easier to spread.
- Spoon melted chocolate onto each rice cake and spread evenly over the top.
- Immediately sprinkle with desired toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
- Transfer to the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes, or until chocolate is set.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for later.
Notes
- Use dairy-free chocolate for a vegan version.
- Let rice cakes sit at room temperature after chilling to prevent chocolate from cracking.
- Best stored in a single layer to maintain crispness.
- Not recommended for freezing as it affects texture.
- Add a nut butter layer under chocolate for extra richness.
