Ingredients
2 cups rice cakes (plain, unsweetened)
1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (preferably 70% cocoa)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting the chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare the Rice Cakes: Break the rice cakes into smaller, rectangular pieces, similar in size to the classic Kit Kat bars. You should have about 8-10 pieces, depending on the size of your rice cakes.
- Make the Almond Butter Layer: In a small bowl, mix the almond butter and maple syrup (if using) together until smooth. Spread a thin layer of almond butter over each rice cake piece.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Assemble the Bars: Dip each almond butter-covered rice cake into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully coated. Transfer the rice cakes to a parchment-lined tray, letting any excess chocolate drip off.
- Chill the Bars: Place the coated rice cake bars in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
- Serve: Once set, enjoy your homemade, healthy Kit Kat bars! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain their crunch and freshness.
Notes
Add Nuts or Seeds: For added crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts like almonds or sunflower seeds on top of the chocolate layer before refrigerating.
Use Peanut Butter: Swap almond butter for peanut butter for a different flavor twist. You could also mix both for a peanut-almond butter combo!
Sweeten Naturally: If you prefer, you can swap the maple syrup or honey with a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
Add Coconut Flakes: For a tropical twist, sprinkle shredded coconut on top of the chocolate layer before it hardens.
Use Milk Chocolate: For a sweeter option, you can use milk chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate.
