Begin by preparing the chocolate spread. Chop the dairy-free dark chocolate into small pieces to ensure even melting.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped chocolate and coconut oil. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until combined. Allow the spread to cool slightly to thicken.
Arrange the rice cakes on a flat serving plate.
Using a spoon, spread a generous layer of the prepared dairy-free chocolate spread over each rice cake.
If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the chocolate spread for an added crunch.
Top with fresh fruit slices like strawberries or bananas for a burst of natural sweetness and additional flavor.
Serve the dairy-free rice cakes immediately, or refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate spread to set before serving.
