White Chocolate Crackles

Another Christmas goodie I have made that got rave reviews, mind you, these are VERY rich - so be warned!! Possibly making them a lot smaller than I do is better - mine are just big because I wanted to shape them like trees.


4 Cups Rice Bubbles
1 Cup Icing Sugar
1 Cup Dessicated Coconut
250g Copha (vegetable shortening)
3 Tbsp Full Cream Milk Powder
3 Tbsp White Chocolate Melts


Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. 
Chop copha and melt in saucepan over low heat, when almost melted, add white chocolate. 
When chocolate and copha are completely melted, add to dry ingredients and mix well.


Place spoonfuls into patty cases. 


Again, you can be really inventive with this, I make them plain and set them in cones made from greaseproof paper, then add decorations to the outside.
For my first batch this year I made them with a paddle-pop stick for easy handling when eating, when I make the next batch they will be much smaller and without the stick - it makes it too difficult to store!
