Caramel rice cakes are tasty on their own, but, adding toppings only makes them better. Spread some no-sugar-added applesauce on a caramel rice cake and top with fresh apple slices. If you’re feeling crazy, sprinkle some cinnamon and drizzle some honey for added sweetness.
I hope I was able to successfully convince you that rice cakes are the world’s perfect snack. They can be literally whatever you want and are sure to crush any craving, the healthy way.
