Chocolate crackles are a birthday party favourite with kids of all ages. They’re super easy to make and, if you’re lucky, there may be a couple left over for adults to enjoy, too.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups Rice Bubbles or rice puffs
- 1 1/2 cups (230g) icing sugar, sifted
- 1 cup (85g) desiccated coconut
- 1/4 cup hundreds and thousands (sprinkles)
- 3 tbsp cocoa or powdered cooking chocolate
- 250g Copha (Solidified Coconut Oil can be used as a substitute)
Method:
- In a large bowl combine rice bubbles, icing sugar, coconut, hundreds and thousands and cocoa. Mix well.
- Melt Copha in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- When completely melted, pour over the dry ingredients.
- Mix well, ensuring all ingredients are covered with Copha.
- With a spoon, fill cupcake cases and place on a baking tray.
- Chill in the refrigerator for one hour.
Notes:
- Crackles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- You can substitute the hundreds and thousands with coloured sprinkles or cachous if you wish.
