Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 6 rice cakes (lightly salted preferred)
Toppings
- 1/2 cup strawberry chia jam
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter of choice)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (melted)
- Optional: flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Melt chocolate: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals at full power, stirring thoroughly between each interval until fully melted. Set aside.
- Spread jam: Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of strawberry chia jam evenly over each of the rice cakes as the first topping layer.
- Warm peanut butter: Place peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 10-15 seconds to make it easier to spread. Then, evenly spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the warmed peanut butter over each rice cake on top of the jam.
- Apply melted chocolate: Divide the melted chocolate evenly over the rice cakes, gently spreading it to cover the surface completely for a smooth chocolate layer.
- Add flaky salt: Lightly sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate-topped rice cakes to enhance the flavor contrast.
- Set chocolate: Arrange the prepared rice cakes in a single layer on baking sheets and refrigerate for about 45 minutes, or place in the freezer for approximately 10 minutes, until the chocolate sets firm.
Notes
- Use lightly salted rice cakes to balance the sweetness.
- Any nut butter can substitute peanut butter based on preference or dietary restrictions.
- Microwaving peanut butter slightly helps with easy spreading.
- Chilling time ensures the chocolate hardens properly.
- Optional flaky sea salt enhances the overall flavor with a salty crunch.
