2. Melt the chocolate chips with 3 teaspoons of coconut oil in the microwave for 10 seconds, stopping to mix the warm chocolate chips and microwave for 10 more seconds, mixing again until well-combined.
3. Scoop the chocolate coconut oil mixture onto the broken rice cakes and mix until the bites are completed coated.
4. Place the chocolate-covered bites into a lined 8x8 pan.
5. Melt the peanut butter and ½ teaspoon of coconut oil for about 10 seconds in the microwave.
6. Using a spoon, drizzle the warm peanut butter coconut oil mixture onto the chocolate covered bites.
7. Stick the batch into the freezer for at least 30 minutes if you prefer a frozen snack. If not, skip this step and enjoy!
