Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams puffed rice
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper and set it aside.
Place the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat and stir in the honey, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, add the puffed rice. Pour the chocolate mixture over the puffed rice and fold gently using a spatula until all the rice is well-coated with chocolate.
Scoop spoonfuls of the chocolate-coated rice onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds. Press them lightly to shape into discs.
Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set completely.
Once set, remove the chocolate rice cakes from the tray and store them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature or refrigerated for up to one week.
