What You Need

Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

Rice Bubbles – also known as “Rice Krispies” in the Unites States, rice bubbles are coated in a chocolate sauce which gives the crackles their texture and flavour.

Icing Sugar – also known as powdered sugar or confectioners’ sugar, icing sugar is much finer than regular sugar. You can find it in the baking aisle at your local supermarket.

Coconut – use desiccated coconut (not shredded coconut or coconut flour).

Cocoa – choose an unsweetened cocoa powder.

Copha – copha, or vegetable shortening, is melted down and stirred through the rice bubble mixture to bind them together.

Expert Tips

What can I substitute for copha?

Copha will always give you the best chocolate crackle crunch, but you can substitute it for coconut oil, melted butter, or melted chocolate (remove the cocoa powder if you’re using chocolate).

*Please note that these substitutions will give you a very different result in both taste and texture depending on what you use. 

Storing

Place chocolate crackles in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Freezing

You can freeze these treats, too! Once chilled, wrap them individually or separate them with baking parchment paper in an airtight container. Freeze for up to three months.
