Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Cakes (Print Version)

Crispy rice cakes topped with melted dark chocolate and flaky sea salt—a guilt-free treat perfect for quick chocolate cravings.

# Ingredients:

01 - 4 plain rice cakes
02 - 100g dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher)
03 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil
04 - Flaky sea salt, to taste

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heat-safe bowl. Add coconut oil.
02 - Melt the chocolate and coconut oil using either a double boiler method (place bowl over simmering water, ensuring bowl doesn't touch water and stir occasionally) or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
03 - Place rice cakes on a wire rack set over a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spoon or spatula to evenly spread the melted chocolate over the top of each rice cake.
04 - Immediately sprinkle flaky sea salt over the melted chocolate, to taste.
05 - Allow the chocolate to set completely. You can speed up the process by placing the rice cakes in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
06 - Once the chocolate is set, enjoy your dark chocolate sea salt rice cakes!

# Additional Notes:

01 - Add chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans) or seeds (sesame, chia) over the melted chocolate for added texture and nutrients.
02 - Drizzle melted peanut butter over the chocolate before it sets for a flavor variation.
03 - White chocolate can be substituted for dark chocolate.
04 - Add a pinch of chili powder to the melted chocolate for a spicy kick.
05 - Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
06 - Ensure rice cakes are fresh and crispy.
07 - Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness.
