This viral TikTok snack hack is just too good not to share…with a few date-able additions.  If you have no idea what I am referring to or need a refresher, basically a rice cake gets a healthy spread of nut butter covered in melted chocolate and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. And VOLIA! A healthy and delicious dessert or snack.

To make it even easier, you most likely already have all of these ingredients lying around in the pantry when your sweet tooth hits! For a no bake, no fuss, no fail treat, my take on this creation is simple ingredients: rice cake, nut butter, soft dates, dark chocolate and flaky sea salt!

I have to admit rice cakes kinda fell off my radar, but now they are going to become a regular treat with this recipe. When paired with dates, it adds an additional caramel layer with an extra nutritional boost. Dates add fiber, potassium, vitamin B and more, in this delicious refined sugar-free treat!

Ah, the humble rice cake – often overlooked and underestimated. While not a standalone nutritional superstar, being essentially puffed rice pressed together, the right toppings can transform it in a far more satisfying (and exciting!) snack.

When people think of rice cakes, they often think of being on a diet. They were hailed as the snack time poster child of the low-fat-low-calorie era. The cardboard-esque, snack touted by dieters as long for as you can remember.

However, and despite dietary recommendations thankfully evolving, we are still somewhat hard-wired into this mindset. But there’s more to these light and crispy snacks. They were (and still are) thought of as being bland and leaving people hungry and unsatisfied.  But they do not have to be!

So … what to top them with? Nut butters are my number one favourite. The crunchy base lends itself perfectly to a variety of toppings that add flavor and nutrition and can serve as a convenient and versatile, hand-to-mouth vehicle for other nutrient-dense ingredients. Here, and with a little strategic pairing, they can become a satisfying and balanced snack – leaving their reputation as a bland diet food relic far behind.

I love how amazing new food trends are being created on internet websites like TikTok and some of them go viral and get loads of attention. One of them that is making a huge buzz is around what is called “putting things on rice cakes”.

So, how do you turn a rice cake into a decadent and delicious snack? Easy! Create decadent toppings like this recipe and dress these bad boys up!

Now you can satisfy your sweet tooth with this delicious rice cake layered with cashew butter, delectable dates and melted chocolate. This recipe is kind of like a healthier version of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. So skip the processed candy bars and make this instead! With just a few simple ingredients, you can satisfy your sweet tooth fast.

This recipe is a nice healthy snack for kids and adults. It’s also endlessly customizable. Add your own favourite toppings as well and make it your own.

The world of desserts and sweets is constantly evolving, with new trends and flavors being introduced every day.  At its core, this dessert is a fusion of four classic treats: nuts, dates, chocolate and rice cakes. The result is a creamy and sweet dessert that is perfect for those who love the taste of these flavours.
