# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's done in the time it takes to make coffee, with most of that being freezer time.
  • You get the satisfaction of eating something that feels indulgent but tastes like you barely tried.
  • No baking skills required, which means no burnt edges or guessing if it's cooked through.
02 -
  • If your chocolate is still runny after the second burst of heat, add that coconut oil—it actually changes everything about how the chocolate sets.
  • Don't skip the freezer time thinking the chocolate will harden faster on the counter; it'll just separate and slide off, and there's nothing sadder than chocolate-less rice cakes.
03 -
  • If your peanut butter is the natural kind with separated oil, mix it well before spreading, or the texture will be inconsistent and slightly grainy.
  • The sea salt isn't just topping—it cuts the sweetness and makes you want to eat three more, so don't skip it thinking you'll add it later.
