Dark Chocolate Rice Cakes

Just when I think there couldn’t possibly be another new innovative snack on the market, along comes a simple and delicious treat that combines two mainstream products (rice and dark chocolate) to form a unique incredibly scrumptious confection: the Dark Chocolate Rice Cake. There really isn’t anything else like it on the market.

Made in Italy under strict European Union regulations, Element Dark Chocolate Rice Cakes are made with organic whole grain brown rice, organic white rice and dark chocolate (sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, and vanillin). 60% of the rice cake is dark chocolate while the remaining 40% is the rice cake so there is no shortage of the rich taste of dark chocolate that we all love. Crunchy and slightly sweet, the Element Dark Chocolate Rice Cake is a perfect snack with only 80 calories and 5 grams of sugar per large rice cake.

The Element Dark Chocolate Rice Cake  has a host of great attributes:

• Gluten-free
• No high fructose corn syrup
• No preservatives
• No hydrogenated or trans fats
• No artificial coloring
• No artificial flavors
• No vanillin
• No yeast
• vegan
• vegetarian
