I’ve recently become obsessed with rice cake recipes. Not only are they delicious, but they are nutritious as well. 

Are you ready to satisfy your sweet cravings with a wholesome and delectable treat? Look no further! I've got a delightful recipe that combines the crunch of rice cakes and the goodness of coconut oil. These Rice Cake Peanut Chocolate Chip Bites are delicious and packed with nutritious components. All of these ingredients can be found at your local Kardish stores!

Ingredients:

• 8 Lundberg Organic Thin Stackers (any flavour of your choice, we chose Brown Rice Lightly Salted)
• 1/2 cup Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips
• 1/4 cup Nuts for You Creamy Peanut Butter
• 2 tablespoons of Kardish Brand Coconut Oil
• Optional: a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness (adjust to your taste)

Instructions:

1. Break the rice cakes cakes into bite-sized pieces.
2. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Gently fold the peanut butter into the melted chocolate-coconut oil mixture. This will create a rich and creamy peanut butter-chocolate sauce.
4. Place the bite-sized rice cake pieces into a larger bowl. Pour the peanut butter chocolate sauce over the rice cakes and mix to combine!
5. Using a spoon or your hands, scoop portions of the mixture into small bite-sized rounds or squares. You can also use silicone moulds for fun shapes.
6. Place your rice cake peanut chocolate chip bites on a tray or plate and put them in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
7. Optional Sweet Drizzle: For those with a sweet tooth, drizzle honey or maple syrup over your bites before chilling. This step is optional and can be adjusted to your preferred level of sweetness.

Once your Rice Cake Peanut Chocolate Chip Bites have set, they're ready to enjoy! These delightful treats are perfect for snacking, as a dessert, or for satisfying your chocolate cravings.

You can store any leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
