Ingredients (makes ~12 small bars)
For the base:
-
60g cacao powder
-
60g maple syrup
-
2 tbsp peanut butter
-
4–5 rice cakes, crushed into small pieces
For the topping:
-
80g white chocolate
-
1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for a smoother texture)
-
Extra peanut butter, for swirling on top (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crunchy Base
In a bowl, mix together the cacao powder, maple syrup, and peanut butter until smooth.
Fold in the crushed rice cakes until everything is evenly coated and sticky.
Step 2: Press & Shape
Line a small container or dish with parchment paper.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish to form a compact base layer.
Step 3: Make the Matcha Chocolate Topping
Gently melt the white chocolate (using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts).
Stir in the matcha powder and coconut oil (if using) until smooth and evenly green.
Step 4: Assemble
Pour the matcha chocolate over the base and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Add small dollops of peanut butter on top and swirl them gently for a marbled finish (optional but delicious!).
Step 5: Freeze & Slice
Place the dish in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until fully set.
Once firm, lift out the parchment and slice into bite-sized bars.
Storage
Keep your bars stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for long-term snacking.
These Healthy Crunch Bites are the perfect balance of texture and flavor—fudgy, crispy, nutty, and topped with silky matcha goodness. Whether you need a quick snack, post-workout fuel, or a better-for-you dessert, they’ve got you covered.
