I'm all for adding more wholesome snacks to my home, but the less time they take to make, the more likely I am to make them again! These quick crispy rice cake and chocolate bars combine some of my favorite snack ingredients- rice cakes, peanut butter (or any nut butter) and chocolate! I can't wait for you to try them!
Ingredients:
- Salted rice cakes
- Peanut butter
- Honey
- Dark chocolate chips
- coconut oil
How to make quick crispy rice cake and chocolate bars
In a bowl add the rice cakes and use your hands to crush them up. Add in the peanut butter, honey and mix until all combined. Pour into a parchment lined loaf pan or 8x8 pan.
Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave or in a double boiler. Spread the melted chocolate over the crunchy base and spread it evenly using a spatula or back of a spoon. Sprinkle flakey salt over the top, if desired.
Place the bars in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to set.
To serve, lift the whole piece out using the edge of the parchment paper. Cut into squares if you used an 8x8 pan or into bars if you used a loaf pan.
Storing
Store the ready made bars in the freezer.
