- 1 cup vegan dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicon baking mat and set aside.
Step 2
In a heat-resistant bowl, combine the vegan dark chocolate and coconut oil.
Step 3
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth and fully melted.
Step 4
Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, add the puffed rice and, if using, the chopped nuts.
Step 6
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the puffed rice and quickly stir to ensure every grain is well coated.
Step 7
Spoon the chocolate-coated rice mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds. Flatten them slightly to form cake-like shapes.
Step 8
Allow the rice cakes to cool and set at room temperature for about 1 hour. For faster setting, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 9
Once set, enjoy your vegan chocolate rice cakes as a healthy snack or store them in an airtight container for up to one week.
