Ingredients
- 4 pieces plain rice cakes
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 tablespoon margarine (low-fat)
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the rice cakes on a flat working surface or a large tray, ready to be topped with caramel.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir gently just to moisten the sugar.
Step 3
Allow the sugar to dissolve and the mixture to come to a simmer, without stirring. This should take around 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Once the mixture begins to change to a golden color, gently swirl the saucepan to ensure even caramelization.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully add the vanilla extract, margarine, and a pinch of salt, stirring gently until everything is well combined.
Step 6
Let the caramel sit for about 1 minute to thicken slightly.
Step 7
Using a spoon, quickly drizzle the hot caramel over each rice cake, spreading it lightly to cover the top without soaking the cake.
Step 8
Allow the caramel to cool and set for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Enjoy your low-fat caramel rice cakes as a crunchy and sweet treat!
