One of the latest TikTok trends revolves around two beloved treats: rice cakes and peanut butter. The so-called "Reese's rice cakes" are perfect for when you want a quick, filling snack with few calories. First, top the rice cakes with peanut butter and then dip them in melted chocolate. Put them on a plate, add a pinch of sea salt, and freeze the whole thing. Sounds simple, doesn't it?
Some food bloggers added their own twist to the recipe, with countless versions popping up all over the place. For example, cookbook author Kelly Kwok prefers to use cashew butter, vanilla extract, chocolate chips, pea protein, maple syrup, and chopped cashews. Alternatively, you can top the rice cakes with dark chocolate, almond butter, fresh berries, honey, or coconut chips. There are endless ways to upgrade a rice cake, depending on what you're craving.
As you might have guessed, some recipes are healthier than others. It's one thing to eat your rice cakes with dark chocolate and peanut butter, and another thing to add all sorts of extras, such as honey or maple syrup. For instance, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup have 26 grams of carbs, including 24 grams of sugar. Rice cakes are mostly carbs; and, from a nutritional standpoint, it doesn't make sense to serve them with other carb-laden foods.
