Ingredients
- 1 large rice cake
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts
Instructions
- Place the large rice cake on a clean, flat surface or serving plate.
- Using a butter knife or offset spatula, spread the peanut butter evenly across the entire surface of the rice cake, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, creating a decorative pattern or covering the entire surface.
- Drizzle honey over the chocolate layer to add a touch of sweetness and help the crushed peanuts adhere.
- Sprinkle the crushed peanuts evenly over the chocolate and honey, pressing them gently to ensure they stick to the surface.
- Let the rice cake sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to slightly set and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Giant Peanut Butter Cup Rice Cake as a quick, indulgent snack.
Tips
- Choose a high-quality, large rice cake for the best base. Opt for a thick, sturdy variety that can hold all the delicious toppings.
- For the smoothest peanut butter spread, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before applying.
- When melting chocolate chips, use low power in the microwave and stir frequently to prevent burning. If you prefer, you can also use a double boiler method.
- For extra indulgence, use a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips to create a more complex flavor profile.
- To make the crushed peanuts stick better, make sure the honey and chocolate are still slightly warm and liquid.
- If you want a more gourmet presentation, use a piping bag or squeeze bottle to create artistic chocolate drizzles.
- For a healthier version, consider using dark chocolate and natural peanut butter with no added sugars.
- Serve immediately after preparing to enjoy the perfect balance of temperatures and textures.
