Start by preparing a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to place the rice cakes on once they are coated.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to avoid seizing.
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt until well combined.
One at a time, dip each rice cake into the melted chocolate, using a spatula or spoon to help coat the entire surface evenly. You can decide to coat one side or both sides of the rice cake according to your preference.
After coating the rice cake, gently shake off any excess chocolate and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining rice cakes.
Once all rice cakes are coated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
After the chocolate has hardened, remove the rice cakes from the refrigerator and transfer them to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature or in the fridge if you prefer them chilled.
Enjoy your nut-free chocolate rice cakes as a delightful treat or snack!
