Ingredients

The only ingredients you really need for this recipe are right in the title: rice cakes and chocolate!

Rice Cakes- You can use either salted or unsalted rice cakes. If you LOVE chocolate you could even try using chocolate rice cakes!

Chocolate- You can use any easily meltable chocolate. I used semi sweet chocolate chips because this is simply what I had on-hand.

There are a couple other items that are optional but encouraged. Adding flakey salt to the top of the chocolate makes for a next level flavor experience!

Directions

Making a rice cake with chocolate chips is simple! It takes less than 5 minutes to whip up a batch and only need about 20 minutes to harden in the freezer before they’re ready to enjoy.

Add your chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and warm in the microwave in 30 second increments. Between each set remove the chocolate and mix with a spoon.

When your chocolate is ready, dip one side of your rice cake into the bowl of chocolate. Rice cakes have many divits so you may need to use a spoon and pour on some additional chocolate to ensure it is fully covered.

Lastly, top with some flakey salt for a whole new level of flavor- I couldn’t recommend it more!

Variations

This is a very basic recipe but you can do SO MANY different variations with it!

• Top with fresh fruit or a fruit spread
• Add slivered almonds, marshmallows, or sprinkles while the chocolate is still soft
• Add a layer of nut butter on the rice cake before topping with chocolate

If you try any other variations that you come to love, be sure to leave it in the comments so others can try it, too!

Expert Tips and Tricks

I recommend mixing the chocolate in 30 second increments as if you go longer than this the chocolate may begin to harden. If you find your chocolate to not be melting well try adding a teaspoon of coconut oil.

You won’t be able to taste the coconut oil but it will loosen the chocolate and make it a better consistency for drizzling and spreading.

Another tip is to add the chocolate to the ‘bumpier’ side. A rice cake will have one flatter side and one side that is more uneven. By adding the chocolate to this side you will have more chocolate on your rice cake!
