Peanut butter chocolate rice cakes are a fun, no-fuss treat made with just three ingredients. They’re ready in 15 minutes and perfect for a sweet snack or light dessert.
I love how quickly these come together when I need something tasty but easy. The combo of nutty peanut butter and melty chocolate over crispy rice cakes is always a hit. If you like quick snacks like this, check out my vegan no bake granola bars or my cocoa peanut butter balls.
Ingredients
The complete list of ingredients with measurements, can be found in the full recipe card below.
Plain rice cakes
Choose unflavored rice cakes with no added salt or seasonings. They’re the perfect crispy base to hold all the toppings.
Natural peanut butter
Use a peanut butter that contains just peanuts, no added sugar or oils. Smooth or crunchy both work well. If peanut butter isn’t for you, swap in almond or cashew butter instead. You can also mix in a spoonful of jam, date caramel, or compote for extra flavor before adding the chocolate. For something a little extra, top with crushed salted peanuts, I love the sweet and salty combo. I also like this protein peanut butter cups recipe.
Chocolate
Melt your favorite chocolate (I use a dairy-free option) and drizzle over the peanut butter layer. No oil is needed when melting. You can even add fruit slices like banana or strawberries between the peanut butter and chocolate layers to make it feel a bit more indulgent.
Once the chocolate sets (pop them in the freezer for a few minutes), keep these stored in the fridge in an airtight container. Just note the rice cakes may soften a little over time.
Here are some rice cake toppings for more inspiration.

Grainic's organic rice cakes with peanut butter and chocolate are my new guilty pleasure! They're the perfect combination of sweet and savory, and I feel good knowing they're healthy too.

Who would’ve thought to put chocolate like this onto a rice cake with peanut butter. I do sometimes swap the pb with almond butter. Satisfies my cravings
