Let's start with the preparation of puffed rice. This method involves frying the rice in hot oil, which causes them to burst and swell. Good, handpicked rice such as wild rice from the Mistral, do not even require preparation. It is enough to heat on a dry pan and drop in the hot oil. But in order to achieve greater softness and lightness, need to tenderize it first. In addition, I used a mixture of wild rice with steamed. With steamed rice this trick without pre-treatment does not work for sure. In any case, it is better to use raw rice, which I unfortunately was not, but despite this, the result turned out quite nice.

Figure pre-boil, adding a little more water than usual, and you can give him a bit to digest, but not allowing bonding and becoming a "mess". If the pot of rice left water drain or decant through a colander.

Spread rice in a thin layer on parchment and send in a preheated 80 ° C oven to dry. Grains of rice need to be completely rid of moisture. This process can take up to 2 hours. I have the rice was dried for about one hour.

Vegetable oil, odorless heat in a pan for deep fry. The oil should not smoke, but must be very hot. The degree of heating of the oil can be checked, leaving him with one piece of rice. In a well-heated oil to the rice swells and bursts instantly. "Inflate" thus all the rice powdering in oil in small portions. The figure immediately to remove from the pan, otherwise it can dry out or boil.

Rice spread on paper towels to rid of excess fat.

Chocolate to break into pieces, add cocoa butter and melt in a water bath or in the microwave.

Give the melted chocolate to cool slightly and stir in it air Fig. If the chocolate is too hot, the rice will get soggy and lose their crispness.

Spread the mixture in molds for candy (or ice) and allow to solidify at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Depending on the assumed number of ingredients, the mixture can also be poured into one large rectangular shape, in this case, you will get nothing like the bakeries chocolate with air rice, which then you just need to cut into pieces.

The same dessert can be cooked with white and milk chocolate. Under blend the rice you can also add orange or lemon candied fruit, dried berries or fruit, crushed nuts or even a large sea salt. Choose your favorite combination and not be afraid to experiment. A pleasant tea parties!

Upd: this picture added because in the comments I have any concerns about swelling wild rice. This photo - enlarged middle part of the above photo number 5. There is certainly clearly seen at least 2 broken black beans.
