Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Crispy rice cereal
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as almonds or hazelnuts)
• 0.5 cup Dairy-free chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir constantly until the coconut oil is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 2

Add the vanilla extract and salt to the saucepan and stir well to combine.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently fold in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring that all of the cereal is coated with the chocolate mixture.

Step 4

If using, add chopped nuts to the mixture and fold them in carefully.

Step 5

Line a baking sheet or flat surface with parchment paper.

Step 6

Using a spoon, drop small spoonfuls of the chocolate rice mixture onto the prepared parchment paper, shaping them into flat, round cakes, about 2 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Top each rice cake with a sprinkle of dairy-free chocolate chips, pressing them lightly into the surface.

Step 8

Allow the rice cakes to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to the refrigerator to set completely for about 30 minutes.

Step 9

Once the rice cakes are set, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator if you prefer them chilled.
