CHOCOLATE CRACKLES

Serve:

6 servings


8 oz Copha 5 C Rice Bubbles
8 oz Icing sugar 1/2 C Sultanas (optional)
3 1/2 t Cocoa

copha and add to ingredients and mix thoroughly. Spoon into paper cups and
allow to set.

NOTES:

* A traditional Australian sweet snack — Mention this recipe to an
Australian abroad and he will instantly get homesick. Yield: serves 6.

* Rice Bubbles are called Rice Krispies in North America. Icing sugar is
confectioner’s sugar. Sultanas are like raisins. Copha, it would appear,
is utterly unavailable outside Australia. It is a partially-solidified
shortening made of coconut oil.

: Difficulty: easy if you can get the ingredients.
: Time: 5 minutes preparation, 1 hour cooling.
: Precision: approximate measurement OK.
