Chocolate Crackles

Ingredients:

  • 250g (9oz) Copha (a brand of solidified coconut oil) (see note below)

  • 4 cups of gluten free Rice Bubbles or similar puffed rice

  • 1 cup pure (gluten free) icing sugar

  • 3 tablespoons cocoa

  • 1 cup desiccated coconut


Method:

  • Melt copha in a saucepan over a low heat or in a microwave oven.

  • Mix dried ingredients. Mix with melted Copha until well combined.

  • Spoon mixture evenly into 24 paper patty containers.

  • Set in the refrigerator and store in an airtight container. This is suitable to freeze.

Note: Copha is a fat (solid)  that is derived from the solidified coconut oil. It is used mainly in recipes where it is melted and combined with other ingredients and left to set. There is a product identical to Copha that is a little more available in the U.S.. You can often find it in European delicatessens. It is sold under the name of Palmin in the 250g block. Again, it is exactly the same as Copha. Maybe you can try Dittmer's Gourmet Meats and Wursthaus at 400 San Antonio Road, Mountain View, CA. (DO NOT USE VEGETABLE SHORTENING – IT IS DEFINITELY NOT THE SAME THING.)
