Our chocolate peanut butter rice cake snack is the perfect quick sweet treat. Made with only 3 ingredients, it is simple to throw together – no baking required!
Peanut butter and chocolate are already a perfect match, but when mixed with a crunchy rice cake, this snack is way more satisfying than a piece of chocolate and peanut butter candy, plus it has lots of crunch!
Rice cakes have an infamous reputation for being boring and bland… because they are. We choose to treat them like a canvas to decorate with delicious toppings like peanut butter and chocolate (although peanut butter and jelly also works great here).
This recipe is a really good example of how ingredients transform each other when paired correctly. A rice cake or even a scoop of peanut butter on its own is not that satisfying but when paired together with chocolate, this becomes a snack to look forward to.
If you enjoy a salty and sweet combo, you can purchase salted rice cakes and top the chocolate with a little flaky salt. If you have a nut allergy, you can use sunflower seed butter or even tahini!

We're health-conscious people who want to help others take control of their nutrition by offering spin-free, hype-free information that is medically accurate, confirmed by doctors.
Food is for physical wellness, and pharmaceutical products are for mental health conditions—that’s where most of us land when it comes to nutrition psychiatry.
Nutrition is understandably not priority one in the chaotic moments immediately following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), but as soon as the patient is stable, nutrition therapy shares center stage with other key tenets of TBI rehabilitation.
Normally, we’re content to bounce around new and/or controversial theories on nutritional concepts all day, but every so often, we have the luxury of seeing in black and white.
This may seem like a fun-killing exercise at first, but we’re not interested in coddling or pandering to our readers, so let’s get the harsh reality out of the way: most of us haven’t earned the right to binge on vacation.
