Expert Tips
Feel free to adjust the amount of sunflower butter and chocolate you use. You might decide you’d like a little more or a little less of these ingredients.
Place rice cakes on a large platter or parchment paper lined baking sheet before adding toppings. This will make transferring them to and from the freezer much easier.
Variations
If nut allergies are not a concern, use peanut butter or almond butter.
Try swapping out what kind of chocolate you use. Feel free to use dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate.
Swap out the strawberries for different fruits. A great choice would be banana slices or blueberries!
Get creative with what you sprinkle on top of the chocolate. Try crushed cookies, mini marshmallows, dried fruits, or candy.
Instead of fresh strawberries, try spreading on some of your favorite jam.

Yes. Feel free to double or triple the recipe depending on how many people you are planning to feed.
