Lifestyle Food Peanut Butter is a classic pantry staple and a go-to favourite for households of all sizes. Its rich, nutty flavour and velvety texture make it the ideal companion for your daily snacking and culinary adventures. Spread it generously on your morning toast, swirl it into your oatmeal, or blend it into your protein-packed smoothies. The options are endless, and so is the satisfaction it brings.
Method
- Start by crushing the Lifestyle Food Rice Cakesuntil you have about 3 cups of crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl, ensuring you have enough room for mixing.
- In a saucepan, gently melt together the Lifestyle Food Peanut Butter, Lifestyle Food Coconut Oil, and liquid sweetener. Stir the mixture until smooth and well combined. If you find your peanut butter is unsalted, a pinch of salt can be added to balance the sweetness.
- Pour the melted peanut butter mixture over the crushed rice cakes in the bowl. Stir everything together until the rice cake crumbs are fully coated. Press the mixture into round moulds.
- Allow the moulded rice cake mixture to set, which typically takes about 40-60 minutes. For quicker setting, you can refrigerate them.
- Once your rice cake pops are set and firm, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave. Dip each pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring a good coating.
- Allow the chocolate to harden, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator if you’re in a hurry.
