    Ingredients In A Chocolate Rice Cakes

    The way to make these chocolates is simple. First, gather the ingredients.

    1. Chocolate - Use a quality chocolate bar at least 70% cacao to build the most nutrition into your bars. Look for a brand that has few and wholesome ingredients such as Lindt's 85% cacao, Ghiradelli baking bars, HU, Chocolate Love, THEO and more.

    2. Sunflower Seed Butter - I used sunflower seed butter in these chocolates as a way to keep my bars nut-free, but of course any nut butter will work. You'll want a healthier butter, not the commercial brands that add sugar. I used sunflower seed butter, Sunbutter brand is my favorite.

    2. Almond Flour - Almond flour is full of protein and healthy fats, can boost energy, trigger metabolism and assist in weight loss, improves digestion, and immunity [source]

    4.Plain Rice Cakes - The rice cakes I used had no additional ingredients or flavors.

    The Sudden Popularity of Rice Cakes

    The plain, flavorless rice cake became a popular low-carb snack back in the 80s. It was invented though decades ago in New York when a botanist, Alexander Pierce Anderson, invented steam-puffed rice.

    This year, rice cakes really had their moment on social media with a chocolate peanut butter rice cake invention cheered on by millions on both Instagram and TikTok. My invention here is a different and bound to kick of a trend, don't you think? lol.
