Chocolate Covered Rice Cakes

These Chocolate Covered Rice Cakes are hands down the best snack We've seen all year. We were inspired by Ambitious Kitchen and had to make it immediately. It is quite possibly the tastiest treat you will have and the idea is just brilliant. We used dark vegan chocolate chips but you can use anything you enjoy.

What stands out

Picture this: a crunchy rice cake, generously slathered with almond butter—a nutty spread that’s smooth yet delightfully chunky like a peanut butter’s sophisticated cousin! Then, covered in a decadent layer of chocolate. The rice cake is crispy, light, airy, and the chocolate melts in your mouth!

How to Prepare Chocolate Covered Rice Cakes

Begin by melting your chocolate in a heat-proof bowl either in the oven or over a double boiler.

Now, spread a tablespoon of nut butter onto each rice cake and then dip each into the melted chocolate (nut butter side down).

Next, sprinkle the tops with chopped almonds.

Finally, freeze them for 30 minutes and then enjoy!

Kitchen tip

You can melt the chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler which is what we did.

Swaps

1. Feel free to use any nut or seed butter you love for these.
2. Use whatever chocolate you love: semi-sweet, milk or dark all work.
3. You can mix some protein powder into the melted chocolate as well.
4. We topped these off with crushed almonds, but you could also try peanuts, pistachios, hazelnuts or even a sprinkling of flaked sea salt as well.

Serve it with

• Have a Chocolate Covered Rice Cake with your afternoon coffee or tea.

Questions

Instead of chocolate, what else can i use?

We did chopped-up almonds, but hazelnuts would be divine as well as pistachios, peanuts, or even flaked sea salt.

how long should these chill in the freezer?

Ideally 30 minutes in the freezer should do but keep an eye on it. When the chocolate is firm, it’s ready to be enjoyed.

which rice cakes did you use?

We used plain flavor rice cakes, however, cinnamon-flavored would be nice as well!

HOw do you store these?

Store them in the refrigerator as they will last for a few days.
