Chocolate Crackles are a classic Australian Kids’ birthday party food.   It was rare to turn up to a party and not find chocolate crackles on the food table.   These days I can understand why parents chose to make these little beauties.   There are only 5 ingredients, they take about 10 minutes to make and they can be made a day or two before the party!    It’s a perfect storm for party preparation!<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/a><\/p>\n

Chocolate Crackles are traditionally made with a product called Copha. Copha cannot be bought in the US – and to be truthful, that’s not a bad thing. Copha is essentially hydrogenated coconut oil. The hydrogenating process makes the coconut oil melt at a higher temperature, which is a good thing in the hot climate of Australia. The downside is that it looses a lot of the health benefits of coconut oil.<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/a><\/p>\n

Instead of copha, I use extra virgin coconut oil. I buy mine at Costco but you can also buy Coconut Oil<\/a>\"\"
\nonline at Amazon. There have been many discussions lately on the health benefits of coconut oil. I will not claim that these Chocolate Crackles are healthy – but by using coconut oil instead of Copha, they are definitely healthier than the original. What’s even better is that they taste the same!<\/p>\n

If you are a chocolate and coconut lover, you are going to love Chocolate Crackles. Each bite is a crunchy sweet mouthful of chocolate and coconut covered Rice Krispies. Yum!<\/p>\n

      Notes<\/div>\t\t\t
        \t\t\t\t
      1. Rice Krispies (USA) and Rice Bubbles (Australia) are the same product. Both of these products contain malt, so if you want to make these gluten free you can easily substitute a similar cereal such as Nature's Path Crispy Rice (USA) or Freedom Foods Rice Puffs (Australia).<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>
