Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 plain rice cakes
- 3 tablespoons almond butter (or any nut or seed butter of your choice)
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted (or any preferred chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare the rice cakes: Place the plain rice cakes on a clean surface and evenly spread one tablespoon of almond butter onto each rice cake, ensuring the surface is well covered for optimal chocolate adhesion.
- Dip in chocolate: Carefully dip the almond butter side of each rice cake into the melted dark chocolate, fully coating the nut butter layer. Gently lift and allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Freeze to set: Arrange the chocolate-covered rice cakes on a parchment-lined tray and place them in the freezer for 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden completely.
- Store appropriately: Once set, move the rice cakes to an airtight container and keep them refrigerated. They will stay fresh and ready to enjoy for several days.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter, cashew butter, or tahini based on your preference.
- For a sweeter or different flavor profile, use milk chocolate or white chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
- Ensure the chocolate is properly melted and smooth for an even coating.
- Freezing helps the chocolate set quickly and keeps the rice cakes crunchy.
- Store in the refrigerator to prevent chocolate from melting and to extend shelf life up to 3-4 days.
