Chocolate + Sea Salt Sticky Bites

1 cup uncooked sticky rice

1/2 cup uncooked rolled oats

2 cups water

1 table spoon brown sugar

2 tablespoons bittersweet chocolate (chips or shaved)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

dash of salt to taste

Combine oats, rice and water with a dash of salt in a rice cooker and cook. Let cool to the touch

In a medium bowl, combine the cooked rice and oats with the remaining ingredients. Stir to incorporate the flavor throughout the sticky mixture

Press into an airtight storage container or shape as individual bites, Sprinkle with chocolate and salt (careful not to add too much salt here...a little goes a long way)

Press the sticky mixture into a shallow airtight container and top with plastic wrap. Simply cut and wrap the bites as you need. Sticky bites can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container or individually wrapped.

To wrap, place a heaping tablespoon of the sticky mixture on a small piece of plastic wrap. Press into a shape like an ice cube or spoon. Roll plastic wrap lengthwise and then twist the ends like a hard candy wrapper.
