Chocolate Crackles - RECIPE

[nikki8609]

COPHA in the USA is the same as CRISCO and in the UK its the same as TREX, FLORA WHITE or COOKEEN. I got this information from Nigella Lawson's website so i'm assuming thats correct.

[tamigrass]

Crisco is not copha. Copha is Coconut oil that is hard at cold temperatures but can also melt. You can find it pretty widely in the US now.

[QueenAmanda86]

OMG, i remember these, im so going to make them for my god-daugheter/2nd Cousin XD

[MrButterworth24]

we have copha in the US but it is called Crisco

[chrizzi1110]

yum i made those today

[kishap123]

easyer to use butter and choclate no different tasteds better too

[coolkick2]

HEY :) Can you Tell Me That Can I Use Butter Instead Of Copha? :) ;) Plz Tell Me! I Love Your Recipe! :D :) :P

[OnePotChefShow]

@coolkick2 Check the video description for an alternative to the copha recipe ;)

[daughterjudy1]

copha it isn't a food, but a highly saturated solidified coconut oil. Copha is extremely popular in Australia for everything from candy to pastries to toppings for cakes and cookies. It's typically melted with other ingredients (like chocolate), then drizzled over cake, or added to a candy mixture, and so on. lard or shortening can be substituted for copha in recipes but won't contribute that subtle coconut flavor.

[CyrlSabotage]

if i use cocoa and sugar with melted milk chocolate as my substitute for copha, won't it be too sweet if i mix it together with the dry ingredients?

[OnePotChefShow]

@CyrlSabotage Please read the substitution in the video description ;)

[MsIzzy805]

can i use crisco

[jusdathang]

i will definitely make this when i next feel like something sweet!!! very quick and easy to follow

[beobscureclearly]

Mmmm. Chocolate crackles. Yum! I didn't know you should let the copha cool. I've just been chucking it straight in. Thanks for posting this (^_^).

[tianateaser123]

just got the copha 2day, I live in Alice springs so i just get it in coles but i think woolworths has it too:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[tianateaser123]

hi i tried this yesterday and it is so yummy

[OnePotChefShow]

@tianateaser123 I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[GenesisExpress]

I live in Sydney, NSW but im not usre where to find copha

[OnePotChefShow]

@GenesisExpress It's available at most supermarkets (Coles, Woolworths etc) - you'll find it with the blocks of butter ;)

[jennyphungus]

@OnePotChefShow thanks ! I just made them today ;)

[jennyphungus]

is it alright if we microwave the copha ?

[OnePotChefShow]

@jennyphungus Sure - as long as you use a microwave safe container ;)

[xkiraaaaa]

nomnomnomnom, I made these at school for food technology and I got a good mark :D Thank youuu, sir >:D (:

[tatts319]

not only you show great recipes but you have amazing eyes :)

thanks & keep up the good work!!!

[hulagirl1970]

Can I substitute Copha with Real Butter??

[OnePotChefShow]

@hulagirl1970 Please see the video description (below the video) for the best substitution ;)

[nnnaaatttaaallliiiee]

I'm making these today :)

[MrButterworth24]

In America Copha is known as Crisco...

[austinwang302]

i once made those without realizing. it was basically chocolate rice crispies.

[ShizukaFate]

amazing eyes O_O

[Joliie]

Google Wiki Copha

Copha is produced only in Australia, but there are many suppliers of hydrogenated coconut fat in various forms worldwide. It is a necessary ingredient in traditional Australian treats such as Chocolate Crackles and White Christmas, and a "chocolate coating" on baked goods that amounts to a rather waxy form of compound chocolate.

[sooouuuuper]

yummy and what about some fairy bread plzzzzzzzz ?

[minielephant123]

what about vanilla shatters?

[sooouuuuper]

@minielephant123 what are vanilla shatters ?

[minielephant123]

@sooouuuuper no its cuz crackle's a nail polish nd shatter's one too--they're similar. just like vanilla&chocolate.

[sooouuuuper]

@minielephant123 ? nail polish ? umm did i miss something ? i thought vanilla shatters were like some sort of lolly or something thats why i was asking u ty

[911tomo]

Cheers



[Charestria]

ooo my... thw way u eat it... so crunchy XD

[omar390z]

what i can replace the copha with ?

[OnePotChefShow]

@omar390z Take a look at the video description ;)

[omar390z]

@OnePotChefShow oh thx ... the chocolate can give a nice kick to the flavour yummy .. can wait to make it

[YeahNaahYeah]

Ahah A classic nice one mate

[Matt2779]

a form of vegetable fat shortening made from hydrogenated coconut oil. It is 100% fat, at least 98% of which is saturated. It also contains Soya Bean Lecithin. in New Zealand, it is marketed as Kremelta. Known in Europe as coconut fat. I hope I helped anyone? I got this off Wikipedia so its hard telling how accurate I'am.

[standback001]

wonderful snack

OK now, i can't buy Copha anywhere, and i don't want chocolate favor this time, what do u suggest, thank you!!

[TZ2OurLittleDogToo]

I am going to make these using virgin coconut oil instead of copha or crisco.... the coconut oil is sooo much better for you, and it will knock the flavor up to burstingly good.

[OnePotChefShow]

@kadensgrandpa08 I'm glad you all had fun making these - thanks for watching :)

[jungiejg]

I Really Love Your Videos And Recipes I Wanna Eat

[RavenCK]

Keep up the videos! Its not like we are all eating this stuff everyday anyway. I love your recipes! :)

[bahamut1080]

lol this is straight off the back of the kellogs rice bubbles pack, still good though.

[OnePotChefShow]

@bahamut1080 LOL yes it is actually! I got bombarded with requests for Chocolate Crackles after I did the Marshmallow Squares video a few weeks back. I saw the recipe on the box of left over Rice Bubbles and figured I may as well stick with a winning formula ;)

[CrazyMetalKidd]

@OnePotChefShow Dude you have some crazy looking eyes, Are those contacts are natural eye color? I want my eyes that color! nice video too, I am a senior in high school and I am the only guy in my culinary arts class lol, anyways man nice vids you are just as good as Chef John from Foodwishes, glad I subbed! :)

[Stormrunner0002]

That off the box Chef???? Lol

[bloodypepper]

dear users, we dunno what he actually eats during the course of his day. his videos are entertaining, informative, and the recipes are great! he's old enough to choose what he puts in his mouth, really. i mean this in the politest way possible, but you gotta lay off him.

[saberf111]

how do i deep fry a mars bar or any other chocolate bar ???

[suelectric]

thanks for this recipe. it's so easy, and yummy! (:

[demonapiccolo]

Thanks for the choco milk tip, but what can I use as an alternative to shortening? I've moved to Belgium and for the past 3 years I still haven't been able to find it here. ;_; I have other recipies that require shortening.

[OnePotChefShow]

@demonapiccolo Replace the cocoa, sugar and copha with 300g of melted chocolate - that's the easiest substitute ;)

[B0nafideStunna]

i think you should ignore anyone who highlights any 'unhealthy' nature of your video recipes. it's not your responsibility to ensure people eat healthy - just because the video exists, doesn't mean they have to watch it, let alone eat what you're making!

people will hate and b!tch no matter what, but keep up the good work. i'll keep coming back to watch and so will anyone else who appreciates what you do :)

[ficklegal]

wow.. 4 someone who does nt own any bakery tool..

this is heaven!!!

thnk u sooo much!!!!

love ur vids!!

everytime!!

[TheKiwiCook]

Copha is the same as Crisco or Kremelta

[toffeeaddiction]

just wondering if butter can replace copha :)

[TheKiwiCook]

@toffeeaddiction Copha is the same as Crisco or kremelta but sure that should work

[Lisatruck]

I like your vids - healthy or not. I even watch the meat ones and I don't eat it. I've never seen rice crispie or "bubbles" cookies like this. Much more familiar with the ones made with marshmallow. Must be a US kinda thing.

[XxDominexX]

those look habit forming

[kenc12]

Im making these tomorrow cant wait.

[angelwings500]

Yummy looks so good!

[Aussiegirl265]

Yummy! Except I think I'll use chocolate instead of the copha and sugar :D

[verdestella]

When I was a llittle girl my grandma did something similar, with butter, Mars and puffed rice cereal; every time I eat this it reminds me of my birthday party :)

[JimboJitsu]

sometimes the simple ones are the nicest! Thumbs up!

[mumsthewitch]

oh, my goodness! White Christmas and Honey Joys videos some time in the future. Please,please, pretty please with a cherry on top??

[verysleepygirl3]

Those look so yummy! Please don't change your videos. I love how decadent your recipes are. If people don't like them, they don't have to follow the recipe!

[mumsthewitch]

@verysleepygirl3 My sentiments too

[wingscancer]

i like you better the nic kitchen

[wingscancer]

these are TUB XD

[yedon68]

...'em chocolate cracks.?

[CommanderGalos]

This recipe looks pretty interesting, qnd looks very adequate for my niece's birthday arty in two months. However, Copha, or Crisco doesn't exist here in Latin America, so what kind of substitutte do you suggest? For a moment here, i thought of natural genetin (the kind unflavored when you want to make your very own jell-o) instead of Copha, so what do you think?

[ygugsa295]

it's naughty enough for adults but fun enough for kids...LOVE IT!

[madeleinemac]

I have yet to watch a video of yours that I don't love!

[OnePotChefShow]

Hi Everyone - Just to make things easier, if you can't find Copha where you live, simply replace the copha, cocoa and sugar with 300g melted milk chocolate. Please thumb this up so everyone can see it ;)

[wingscancer]

@OnePotChefShow i using chocolate alot more

[XxSniperTeamBxX]

@OnePotChefShow yo the uploaders comments are always at the top anyways. at least in uk

[MissPonderosa]

@OnePotChefShow instead of copha you can actually also try using cocoa butter or pure coconut oil found at your local organic health food store. It works all the same. I think vegetable shortening works too :) milk chocolate would taste good...but not as good as pure fat :P haha

[zanettadia]

@OnePotChefShow

Please give me the measurement for crackles with 300 gm melted milk chocolate. I need to make 40 crackles

[OnePotChefShow]

@zanettadia Use the same ingredients, but replace the copha, cocoa and sugar with 300g of melted milk chocolate. This will make about 20 crackles. So all you need to do is double the ingredients to make 40 ;)

[kelzie80]

Little tip guys, when puttung it into the cases use an icecream scoop really helps quicken things up :-) Even when making cupcakes etc

[a1boywonder]

Just thought I'd let you know...... I tried using Vegetable shortening instead of copha........ Dont do it! It was very bad!

There is a product identical to Copha that is a little more available in the U.S. You can often find it in European delicatessens. It is sold under the name of Palmin in the 250g block. Again, it is exactly the same as Copha. I got mine at Dittmer's Gourmet Meats and Wursthaus at 400 San Antonio Road, Mountain View, CA,

[UltimateGrobanite]

Omnomnom!

[OnePotChefShow]

@UltimateGrobanite Thanks - glad you liked it :)

[Coralista21]

Copha is not lard, lard is an animal based product, copha is vegetable based.

[Amickel]

Can you use anything other than Copha?

[a1boywonder]

@Amickel There is a product identical to Copha that is a little more available in the U.S. You can often find it in European delicatessens. It is sold under the name of Palmin in the 250g block. Again, it is exactly the same as Copha. You can get it at Dittmer's Gourmet Meats and Wursthaus at 400 San Antonio Road, Mountain View, CA,

[hawj89]

is it youtube now? they're making the videos look thin and weird...but whatever! that's no the point...it's the fact that you always make food magic that makes me watch it! sooooooooooooo awesome!

[xXCozzyCautionXx]

can you use any thing else then cofa??

[a1boywonder]

@xXCozzyCautionXx There is a product identical to Copha that is a little more available in the U.S. You can often find it in European delicatessens.

[britfin007]

I have made something similar but went one fattening stage farther, First I cut the top and bottom of tuna tins, washed then thoroughly and when I got enough(6). I buttered the inside of the tins and half filled them with the rice crispie mixture. Put in to the fridge, at the same time made some fudge and covered the rice cripie's, back into the fridge. Melt some chocolate and, you guessed it covered the fudge and back into the fridge. Only thing to do now, mmmmm

[galfeh]

I love your videos - it reminds me of all of my childhood! :)

[fezan84]

For any americans watching, copha is just like crisco (vegetable shortening). So yeah, use crisco =D

These look delicious, thanks again OPC!

[ballietbran]

do you have kids?

[Nimarocks]

what a great video except will it work with butter because i cant find copha or the solidified vegetable shortening.

[blackbirdxo]

Does anyone know what "copha" is for americans?

[OnePotChefShow]

@blackbirdxo I'm told it's called "Crisco" in America ;)

[giselathegee]

can you suggest the other subtitute ingredient if i dont have copha? by the way, this looks tasty...OH YUMM!! :) thanks for sharing..

[xcppanda]

Hm, this reminds me of "risboller" as we call them in norway. Exept we just take chocolate and melt it, and the pour it over the rice-cereal. mix and put into muffin-thingies, and put in the fridge :) yummm

[tomber220]

i usually just medlt choclet and combind it with stuff

[kumquatsta]

such childhood memories. can you do corn flake honey jumbles/joys, please?

[fccty1]

i think chocolate cracks is a far more siutable name for these :)

[christschool]

You seem like a cool guy. I think that's the key to your blistering success here on youtube.

Nice recipe. In the US, Copha is similar to Lard. This looks very delicious but It should be noted that it is extremely high in saturated fat. Pure butter might be a healthier choice.

If you're not familiar with "no-bake" cookies, I think you'll like them. This recipe reminded me of it in some ways, but in no bake cookies, there is a lot of sugar, oatmeal and peanut butter.

[OnePotChefShow]

@christschool Copha is vegetable based, similar to "Crisco" in the US ;)

[TheVittleVlog]

Looks tasty!!

[HomemadeCafe]

Ahh if only they had rice crispies in Holland! 

[mrgatofrodo]

how can you replace the coconut?? and instead of cofa can we use melted marshelows? I'm sooo looking forward to trying this recipe!

[deeyanna92]

what about butter in replacement of copha?

[Mehu1997]

In Finland we call them "suklaa pusut" which means chocolate kisses :)

[TexasHoldMe87]

i want to see you make deep fried snickers or mars bars :)

[OUARNP]

Bless you for another great 'teach your kid to cook' recipe!!! P.S. thanks for the American translation - LOL! We are such big fans and appreciate your excellent and super fun teaching videos. You're the best, David!

[lavakid12]

an easier way to do this is combine the rice crispies with melted chocolate

[SWkangaroo]

I have never heard of Copha before. Can it be bought in the UK or is there different variations of it. But I would just melt the chocolate chips what you use and mix those with the rice pops :P Have you tried your version with cornflakes?

[PytoX]

omg yum :D

2 people that dislike this are crazy

[billynightmare]

its always the most simple things that are so good, my kids loved making these today, thanks :)

[TheCraphater]

if i dnt get copha can i use unsalted butter?

[KeminmaanKauhu]

You can also use coconut fat :)

It does same trick, ive been doing these for long time using coconut fat ;)

[KeminmaanKauhu]

@KeminmaanKauhu

I'm not sure if you know it as coconut fat but coconut oil is essentially the same stuff or coconut butter.

Its just hard coconut oil, and its mostly saturated fat so its even healthy for you :)

[one7892008]

i don't like coconut :(

[shaunpmb1]

so glad i subbed to you man these things take me take to the good ol days before i had to worry about stuff

[one7892008]

I don't like Coconut :(

[MyAussieDay]

@one7892008 Well that's easy Don't Add it...Derr 

[OnePotChefShow]

@one7892008 The coconut is optional ;)

[sn0306]

cofa its like gelly without flavour ????

[OnePotChefShow]

@sn0306 No, it's a type of vegetable fat. Once melted, it mixes with the other ingredients and goes solid as it cools ;)

[Kackwurst4You]

@OnePotChefShow

It's Fat from the coconut foamed up with nitrogen to be a bit more spreadable,

so you can use normally fat from the coconut (without nitrogen) too.

100% vegetable!

Greetings from Germany,

have a nice day!

[Memekiller666]

@OnePotChefShow In America, vegetable shortening is called 'Crisco' instead of 'Copha'.

[sn0306]

helloooooo

im from portugal and i dont know what is cofa...

regards

[OnePotChefShow]

@sn0306 Copha is Vegetable Shortening. It may have a different name where you live ;)

[xDolcexxGabbanax]

Wow this is sounds more interesting with coconut! :)

In the UK we just have rice crispies and melted chocolate XD

With the coconut; i will have to try at easter :P

[OnePotChefShow]

@xDolcexxGabbanax The coconut is optional, but helps to add some extra texture to the crackles :)

[p4kiprincess]

I think You and your recipes are lovely. :)

[OnePotChefShow]

@p4kiprincess Why thank you - I think you're lovely too :)

[emmer84]

Good old fashion recipes FTW!

[OnePotChefShow]

@emmer84 I agree 100% :)

[toria1998]

[OnePotChefShow]

@toria1998 I haven't made a mars bar slice, but I've made a couple of things that are similar. Try my Chocolate Caramel Slice and Chocolate Mars Bar Crispies ;)

[TheZok30]

@liacokelat Thanks - glad you liked it :)

[Fitange]

Love chocolate crackles. Thanks for giving me cravings lol joke.

[OnePotChefShow]

@Fitange I promise they are fat free (not a promise) :P

[michellaSR]

you can't get copha in denmark :O can i use anything else? :)

[SommerV2]

@michellaSR I believe PALMIN, will give the same result, since it should be the same. Not quite sure though.

[michellaSR]

@SommerV2 Thank you i'll try find something like that :)

[ActuallyLiam]

@michellaSR Copha is the Australian brand name for hydrogenated coconut fat. So anything that is hydrogenated coconut fat will work. I'm not aware of them given I live in Australia also.

[michellaSR]

@ActuallyLiam Okay thank you :) i think we have that in denmark :)

[ActuallyLiam]

@michellaSR Also chocolate can be used, melted or i suppose marshmallow melted. Remember all it is for is to bind together so most common binding agents used in desserts would work. Such as Chocolate, etc.

[michellaSR]

@ActuallyLiam uh sounds delicious :) gonna try that :D Thank you :)

[difflock77]

nice

[MissPonderosa]

Its funny how copha looks so innocent...but it actually clogs arteries hahaha, in moderation is ok of course :D

[OnePotChefShow]

@MissPonderosa As the wise man once said "Everything in Moderation..." :P

[LoveYaJasey]

i love it how you have over 15,000 subscribers, yet you still take the time to reply to peoples comments :)

[OnePotChefShow]

@LoveYaJasey I do my best to keep active with my audience - seems only fair ;)

[MissPonderosa]

OH.I.LOVE.YOU

No dessert and I mean NO dessert beats copha as an ingredient!

[OnePotChefShow]
