Description

Chocolate Covered Rice Cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that combines the light crispiness of rice cakes with a rich, melty chocolate coating. With the option to add toppings like chopped nuts, sea salt, or dried fruit, these rice cakes offer the perfect balance of texture and flavor. They’re a lighter alternative to traditional chocolate-covered snacks, making them a great option for a quick, satisfying treat or party snack.

Ingredients

  • 6–8 plain rice cakes (preferably unsalted)

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white chocolate)

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother chocolate)

  • Toppings (optional): chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt, or dried fruit

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice Cakes:
    Lay the rice cakes on a baking sheet or a large plate, making sure they’re not overlapping. You can also break them into smaller pieces for bite-sized portions.

  2. Melt the Chocolate:
    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter). Heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove, stirring continuously.

  3. Coat the Rice Cakes:
    Dip each rice cake into the melted chocolate, using a spoon or tongs to fully coat the top. For a thicker chocolate layer, you can spread the melted chocolate with a spatula. Place the chocolate-covered rice cakes back on the baking sheet or plate.

  4. Add Toppings (Optional):
    Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your choice of toppings (chopped nuts, sea salt, sprinkles, or dried fruit) onto the chocolate. Be creative with your toppings for a personalized touch.

  5. Let the Chocolate Set:
    Place the coated rice cakes in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set and hardened. Alternatively, you can leave them at room temperature, though it will take longer for the chocolate to harden.

  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    Once the chocolate has set, your Chocolate Covered Rice Cakes are ready to enjoy. Serve them as a snack or store them in an airtight container for later.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the chocolate-covered rice cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator to prevent the chocolate from softening.

  • Freezing: You can also freeze these rice cakes. Place them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container or bag, and freeze for up to 1 month. Let them thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

  • Reheating: There’s no need to reheat the rice cakes as they are best enjoyed chilled. If you’d like a warmer treat, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
