These are a great alternative to your traditional chocolate crackles and they are even easier! Just three ingredients :-)
Admittedly the chocolate butter is quite pricey but if you can pick it up on special from the health food shop it's not too bad. I have seen it at wray organic health food shops at pretty good prices. Anyway for me I don't mind spending a bit more and it goes surprisingly far. It has coconut butter in it as the main ingredient which has numerous health benefits. It also contains cacao which is high in antioxidants. The coconut chocolate butter is the ingredient that acts like copha which is what sets your regular chocolate crackles. If you didn't want to spend the money on the coconut butter I'm sure there would be a way to make up a mix using coconut oil, honey and cacao but I'm lazy and time poor with a 22 month old! So here goes my chocolate crackles!
I guess amounts! So just chuck some rice bubbles/rice puffs/spelt puffs into a bowl, put in a bit of desiccated coconut and then enough coconut butter to get a decent coating. You don't want the mixture swimming in it so start with a smaller amount and build up until its nice and chocolatey. Spoon into paper cases and refrigerate. That's it and they don't take very long to set either.
So yummy with a cup of tea and great chocolate alternative for Easter :-)
