100 gms of gluten free
marshmallows (mini marshmallows or large
marshmallows quartered)
½ cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup gluten free jelly snakes
(cut into small pieces)
Method:
Line a biscuit tray with baking
paper.

saucepan (over a pan of simmering water - not
directly on a stove plate.) Do not
boil, stir until smooth.
In a bowl, mix all of the dry
ingredients together.

heat and stir through the dry ingredients.

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.)
