RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Copha is a brand of vegetable fat shortening made from hydrogenated coconut oil and can be bought from the margarine/butter section of any major supermarket.
Substitutions - copha will always give you the best chocolate crackle crunch, but you can substitute it for coconut oil, melted butter, or melted chocolate (just remove the cocoa powder if you're using chocolate).
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 paper in an airtight container. Freeze for up to three months.
