Chocolate Mixture
- ¾ cup chocolate of your choice (for melting)
- 1 tsp virgin or refined coconut oil
Toppings (suggestions or your preference)
- Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
- Chopped dried or fresh fruit
Rice Cakes Base
- Rice cakes (quantity as needed)
- Optional: Your choice of butter such as coconut butter or peanut butter (to spread on rice cakes)
- Melt the chocolate: Melt the chocolate using either a microwave or a bain-marie. For microwave, heat chocolate in short bursts, stirring between each until completely melted and smooth. For bain-marie, place a glass bowl over a simmering pot of water, ensuring no steam touches the chocolate, then add chocolate and coconut oil, stirring gently as it melts to a smooth consistency.
- Prepare toppings: Chop any large nuts or fruit into smaller pieces and arrange toppings in small containers for easy sprinkling.
- Assemble rice cakes: Place approximately 4 rice cakes on a cutting board. If using, spread a generous layer of your chosen butter (such as coconut or peanut butter) on each cake. Then spread a generous layer of the melted chocolate, covering almost to the edges.
- Add toppings: While the chocolate is still wet and runny, sprinkle your desired toppings evenly over each rice cake.
- Set the treats: Transfer the assembled rice cakes onto a baking tray and place it in the fridge until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Serve or store: Once chilled and set, enjoy the treats immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
Notes
- Use any type of chocolate you prefer, such as dark, milk, or white chocolate.
- Choosing virgin or refined coconut oil helps achieve a smoother melting texture for the chocolate.
- You can customize toppings based on seasonality or preference, including seeds, shredded coconut, or sprinkles.
- Spreading a butter layer like peanut butter adds flavor and helps toppings stick better, but it is optional.
- Refrigerate treats properly to prevent chocolate melting and to maintain crispness of rice cakes.
