Crunchy and Chocolatey: A Guide to Making Perfect Chocolate Crackles

Chocolate crackles are a popular Australian dessert that are typically made with rice bubbles (also known as Rice Krispies), desiccated coconut, icing sugar, cocoa powder, and copha (a type of vegetable shortening). The mixture is typically stirred together and then spooned into small paper cups or muffin tins, where it is left to set and harden in the refrigerator. The end result is a crunchy, chocolatey treat that is a hit with both kids and adults alike. Chocolate crackles are often served at children's birthday parties, picnics, and other casual gatherings.
