# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No baking required, just melting, spreading, and freezing—a real win when you want dessert without heating up the kitchen.
  • The texture contrast between crispy rice cakes, creamy peanut butter, and snappy frozen chocolate is genuinely addictive.
  • One batch makes enough to keep around for a week, and they taste even better straight from the freezer when you're craving something cold and satisfying.
02 -
  • Microwaving chocolate in short bursts is non-negotiable—a few seconds too long and it goes grainy and unworkable, a mistake I've made more than once.
  • The texture difference between these fresh from the freezer versus sitting on the counter is dramatic, so serve them cold and eat them quickly before the chocolate gets soft.
03 -
  • If your chocolate seems too thick after melting, a few drops of coconut oil or even a tiny bit of butter can bring it back to drizzling consistency without watering down the flavor.
  • The peanut butter layer doesn't need to be spread paper-thin—generous coverage is what makes these feel indulgent and worth making again.
