My recipe for easy Chocolate Crackles are made with real chocolate, giving it the best flavour, and the perfect option to satisfy any sweet tooth! They only take minutes to prepare (great for kids to get involved with as they are no bake) and a few hours in the fridge.
Chocolate Crackles are a crunchy sweet treat made rice cereal (Rice Bubble, Rice Krispies, Rice Puffs) along with a few other ingredients. These crackles are made without Copha (vegetable shortening), using real chocolate and coconut oil, giving them a much better flavour and texture.

These Crackles are made with real chocolate (the kind you would eat a block of, not baking chocolate which is usually made with vegetable oil rather than cocoa butter) instead of Copha (vegetable shortening).
To make White Chocolate Crackles remove the cocoa powder from this recipe and switch up the dark chocolate for white chocolate. Using white chocolate makes the crackles easier to theme with sprinkles or additional ingredients like cranberries which will stand out against the white colour.
Instead of making individual portions of the crackles in cupcake cases try pressing the entire mixture into a square baking pan. Let it set in the fridge and cut into 12 slices to make chocolate crackle slice!
Using a spoon, or an ice cream scoop works great for this, scoop out spoonfuls of the chocolate crackle mixture and place it into cupcake cases. Alternatively you can press the mixture into a slice tin to make a chocolate crackle slice.
Chocolate Crackles are a classic New Zealand and Australian Kid's Birthday Party Classic! It is super simple, requires no baking, and can easily be made gluten free or Vegan. This recipe for Chocolate Crackle has two versions - the more nostalgic tasting one made with coconut oil and cocoa, and a fancy chocolate crackle made with chocolate.
Hi hi! I hope you are well! Just popping in to share this recipe for chocolate crackles with you! These are a NZ (and Australian) Kid's birthday party classic, and I decided a while back I absolutely needed some, so here is a wee recipe!
Chocolate Crackles are made with Rice Bubbles (What we call Rice Krispies in NZ and what I will be using as the name for the rest of the post), chocolate, and coconut. The ones we ate growing up use cocoa powder and either Copha or Kremelta, which is vegetable shortening which is made with predominantly coconut oil. I can't able to find either of those here in the US, so I have two versions - one is a more 'fancy chocolate crackle' with chocolate instead of just cocoa powder, and the the super nostalgic version too.
As I mentioned before, there are two versions of this recipe here for you today. One is the super nostalgic one which is just cocoa powder, desiccated coconut, icing sugar (powdered sugar), rice bubbles and then refined coconut oil. A bunch of people asked for Chocolate Crackles with no Copha, so here you are! Refined coconut oil is processed so it does not have a coconut taste, and works great here.
Then for the second version, melted dark chocolate replaces some of the coconut oil. I still use a little coconut oil in there because it helps with texture, and some cocoa for depth of flavour. The images in this post are of the chocolate version so if you make the coconut oil version it will turn out a little more matte. Both are so, so good. You do you here - the recipe is easy enough that you could easily just make both and compare! I like to cut them into little pieces and then keep them in a box in the fridge.
I post my recipes in grams because it is the most accurate way to bake. Cups are not only inaccurate but they vary in volume worldwide. There is no way for me to provide one cup measure that works for everyone. Posting in weight fixes this issue. If you would like the recipe in cups, then you are welcome to convert it yourself via google. However, please do not ask me to do it for you as I am not comfortable providing a recipe using a method that I have not tested. Baking with a scale is easy, accurate, and also makes cleanup super simple. Here is the scale that I use if you would like a recommendation! Here's to accurate baking!
I made the cocoa version one but with puffed multigrain blend and also unrefined coconut oil. Oh my gosh!!!! This is the best and super easy, and semi healthy for my toddler with these puffs. Thank you!
Cocoa Krispies (also known as Choco Krispis, Choco Krispies, Coco Pops, Choco Pops depending on region) is a breakfast cereal produced by Kellogg's, coming both as a boxed cereal and as a snack bar with a 'dried milk' covered bottom. It is a cocoa flavored version of Rice Krispies that contains real chocolate.[1] In Canada, Rice Krispies Cocoa is their variant of the cereal, with a lighter chocolate flavor. Off-brand "coco krispies" are sold by other companies.
The cereal was available in Canada for a time, but was discontinued at some point in the early 1990s. Instead, Kellogg's sells a variant called Rice Krispies Cocoa, which is simply Rice Krispies with a light chocolate flavor.[2] Several spin off cereals using the "Coco Pops" name, such as "Caramel Flavoured Coco Pops", "Coco Pops Crunchers", "Coco Chex", "Coco Rocks", "Coco Pops Straws", "Coco Pops Moon & Stars", "Coco Pops Choc-N-Roll" and "Coco Pops Croc Prints" (shaped like Crafty Croc's feet) have also been released by Kellogg's in some countries.
In July 2014, in Mexico, due to concerns about the sugary and caloric contents of the cereal and the relation kids made with the friendly mascot, Melvin the elephant had a physical transformation from a traditional elephant body to an athletic body, resembling a strong teenager while keeping the head of the mascot. The cereal also had a recipe transformation to add more vitamins and minerals, in order to focus the product into a "health is fun" type of communication. Due to declining sales and inconsistent design Kellogg's with the agency Interbrand Mexico redesigned the character again on 2019 on his anniversary.[6]
Variations include Coco Pops Chocos, which is wheat cereal in the form of shells, similar to Nestle's Chocapic, Coco Pops Jumbos, which is maize cereal in the form of balls, similarly to General Mills's Cocoa Puffs, and Coco Pops Rocks, which is similar to Jumbos, but also contains multi-grain "pillows" stuffed with chocolate cream, similarly to Krave, all of the aforementioned examples being chocolate-flavored.[citation needed] In February 2022, Kellogg's released a 'mystery' favor of Coco Pops, and ran a contest with a $10,000 AUD prize for guessing the flavor.[17] The mystery flavor was revealed to be neapolitan ice cream, and Mystery Coco Pops were subsequently relaunched as Coco Pops Vanilla Berry Choc Top.[18]
Freeze chocolate crackles by allowing them to set initially in the fridge then wrap them individually in plastic wrap. Pop them into a freezer-friendly container separating any layers with a layer of baking paper. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Fantastic yummy recipe!! I made 3 batches for school for 3 of my children. I omitted the peanut butter for caution. Using mini cupcakes and 2 tablespoon serves, I yielded 30 crackles. Very happy to find an easy copha free recipe! Thank you very much!
Hi Tarsha! You're most welcome! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed these chocolate crackles, absolutely perfect for the kids! Having them in the mini cupcakes is so handy for the lunch boxes too. Thanks for sharing! Sam x
If you want a treat that tastes indulgent but is loaded up with good stuff instead, my healthy chocolate rice bubble slice tastes like traditional chocolate crackles but none of the naughty stuff! Yet another must-try rice bubbles recipe without copha!
These are so easy to make that you can throw a batch together in about 10 minutes total, from start to finish! It is a great recipe to make with the kids too since they can help you stir and spoon the mixture into the cases.
Are Rice Bubbles and Rice Krispies the same thing? Yes, they are both puffed rice cereal brands. Rice Bubbles is what we have here in Australia while Rice Krispies is a known brand in the United States. This recipe works with any puffed rice cereal.

These healthy chocolate crackles are a new spin on the childhood classic chocolate crackle recipe. These sweet treats are just as delicious and much better for you, and have no copha. This vegan and gluten free homemade dessert is made with rice puffs, cocoa, peanut butter and coconut. The best chocolate crackles you'll ever try!
Chocolate crackles are a retro Australian childhood favourite that date back all the way to the 1930's! They were a MUST at birthday parties when I was growing up (along with fairy bread) and I was known to eat my fair share.
These days I don't have the stomach for the traditional chocolate crackle recipe. For those who didn't grow up with them - they are made with a block of copha (vegetable shortening), icing sugar, cocoa powder, coconut and rice bubbles/krispies. Far from good for you ingredients and they are almost sickly sweet.
Chocolate crackles are a popular Australian and New Zealand children's treat commonly found at birthday parties and fetes. The earliest chocolate crackle recipe dates back to 1937, where it was printed in an advertisement in the Australian Women's Weekly. This recipe was created by Unilever, who was advertising Copha (vegetable shortening). 2ff7e9595c
