# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No baking required, yet they taste like something from a fancy dessert shop.
  • Ready in under an hour with almost zero cleanup.
  • The contrast between crispy rice cake and creamy peanut butter is genuinely addictive.
02 -
  • Serve these straight from the freezer—that's when the contrast between the crispy rice cake, creamy peanut butter, and snappy chocolate shell is at its absolute best.
  • If you melt the chocolate too fast or overstir it, it can become thick and difficult to work with, so microwave in short bursts and be patient.
03 -
  • Use a hot knife to cut through them cleanly—just run it under hot water and wipe dry before each cut.
  • If your chocolate cools too fast and becomes difficult to work with, set the bowl briefly over warm water to loosen it up without overheating.
