Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 rice cakes
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice Cakes:
    Crumble the rice cakes into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Melt the Peanut Butter:
    In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the peanut butter for 30 seconds until slightly melted. Stir until smooth.
  3. Combine Peanut Butter and Rice Cakes:
    Pour the melted peanut butter over the rice cake pieces. Stir until the rice cakes are mostly coated (they don’t need to be fully coated).
  4. Press into Pan:
    Transfer the mixture into a 9×9-inch pan and spread it evenly, pressing down gently to form a compact layer.
  5. Melt the Chocolate:
    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  6. Add Chocolate Layer:
    Pour the melted chocolate over the rice cake layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  7. Top with Sea Salt:
    Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate for a sweet and salty contrast.
  8. Freeze:
    Place the pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chocolate is fully set.
  9. Serve:
    Once set, remove from the freezer and break into bars or cut into squares. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  1. Rice Cake Texture: Crumble the rice cakes into small, bite-sized pieces for the best texture.
  2. Peanut Butter: Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter based on your preference.
  3. Chocolate: Opt for high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
  4. Freezing Time: Allow the bars to set in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to ensure they hold together.
  5. Customization: Add toppings like crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture.
