Description

A quick and delicious snack featuring crispy rice cakes topped with creamy peanut butter, rich melted dark chocolate, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 plain rice cakes
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 2 ounces dark chocolate
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt


Instructions

  1. Spread Peanut Butter: Spread a tablespoon of peanut butter evenly on each plain rice cake to create a creamy base.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Place dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until fully melted. This usually takes between 45 seconds and 1 minute 30 seconds.
  3. Stir Chocolate: Stir the chocolate thoroughly to ensure it is smooth and completely melted without lumps.
  4. Add Sea Salt: Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the melted chocolate to enhance the flavor with a slight savory touch.
  5. Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate-topped rice cakes to harden by letting them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes before serving for a quicker set.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate (around 70% cocoa) for a richer flavor.
  • Flaky sea salt adds texture and enhances the sweetness of the chocolate.
  • Rice cakes can be substituted with gluten-free options if desired.
  • The snack can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Adjust the amount of peanut butter and chocolate according to taste preference.
