Rice Cakes with Chocolate

Since I arrived in Dublin, I have seen chocolate-covered rice cakes in most every grocery store and quick, healthy-food restaurant (i.e. next to the energy bars). I finally purchased some, having rediscovered my passion for rice cakes. I picked up some dark chocolate (yummy!) covered rice cakes and they are tasty! I get the pleasure of crispiness with my chocolate without it being too heavy. And I actually had them as dessert! Talk about eating responsibly, huh?

For those who are unaware, there is a lot of catering to wheat and gluten allergies over here. These are a great snack/treat for folks who can't have wheat or gluten (or yeast or dairy, as log as you get the dark chocolate ones). For those of you who are skeptical, there is a touch of saltiness about the rice cake so there is a sweet, slightly salty, crunchiness about this little treat. It's worth considering.
