Place a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler setup). Add the sugar-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to the bowl.
Stir occasionally until the chocolate and coconut oil are completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to let any water into the chocolate mixture.
Remove the bowl from the heat and add the unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, almond milk, and stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Stir until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Place the rice cakes on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Using a spoon, drizzle the chocolate mixture generously over each rice cake, covering the top evenly.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each chocolate-covered rice cake.
If using, sprinkle chopped nuts and/or grated coconut over the chocolate before it sets for added texture and flavor.
Refrigerate the chocolate-covered rice cakes for about 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate is firm and set.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
