Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Place the rice cakes on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt them together in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully smooth and melted. Alternatively, you can melt them using a double boiler on the stovetop.
Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt until the mixture is well combined.
Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over each rice cake, covering the top evenly. You can use the back of the spoon to spread it if needed.
If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds and shredded coconut over the top of the chocolate-covered rice cakes for added texture and flavor.
Allow the chocolate to harden by placing the rice cakes in the refrigerator for about 5-10 minutes or until set.
Just before serving, top with fresh berries or pomegranate seeds if using, for a refreshing burst of flavor.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate from melting.
