Dark Chocolate Rice Cakes

A Few Hungry Girls

Most people I know hate rice cakes, they are typically bland and dry. Well not these cake!! Well they're still dry but that's obvious, but when dipped in chocolate and topped with Honey Chipotle almonds, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds they're bomb.com. I wanted a low cal snack that packed a big punch in the flavor department and these worked out perfectly. These rice cakes also are the PERFECT late night snack!

 

INGREDIENTS: 

(this is for 8 rice treats)

4 Rice Cakes (I went with Apple Cinnamon)

2 chocolate bars 

Sunflower Seeds

Chia Seeds 

Chipotle Honey Almonds

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Cut rice cakes in half and melt chocolate in microwave for 30 seconds at a time stirring frequently. Make sure they don't burn and get lumpy!

2. Coat top 1/2 of rice cake with chocolate. 

3. Immediately add chia, sunflower, and almonds to chocolate protion. 

4. Allow to cool by placing rice cakes in freezer so the chocolate hardens, and ingredients stick!

 These rice cakes are seriously unbelievable! I couldn't even wait to eat these, originally they were made ahead for my boo's birthday, I don't think they'll make it very far. Oh and did I tell you they were super easy?

Stay hungry my friends...

Whiskey Apple Crisp

A Few Hungry Girls

 

My inspiration for this recipe was pure whim. I bought apple pie spice about 2 weeks ago for no good reason likely because I really needed pumpkin pie spice and it was right next to it and on sale. Originally I was going to use Honey Crisp apples until a sale associate at Publix introduced me to SweeTango apples. They are a hybrid mix between Honey Crisp apples and Zestar apples, they aren't as large or shiny as our beloved Honey Crisp but I actually thought they tasted better plus they were $1.69 per pound cheaper.

I really love apple crisp and I personally think a brown alcohol almost always pairs well with apples. So I whipped about a shots worth of whiskey in my apples AND my whipped topping. Oops hope no ones gets too tipsy, just kidding after baking the alcohol gets cooked off and all that remains is the flavor profile. Let me tell you something... I really did my thang with this dish! Here's how I made it...

Ingredients: 

5 Sweetart apples

1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons brown sugar 

1/4 cup agave nectar 

1 tablespoon apple pie spice 

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup butter 

3/4 cup flour 

1/4 cup white sugar 

1 shot + 1 tablespoon whiskey 

1 tub fat free whip cream
