When I was a kid chocolate crackles were my favourite at a party. I still have a sweet tooth and I still get cravings for them every so often, and I’m 40 now!
I have of course, lightened up the recipe to remove unnecessary added sugars and used all whole food ingredients to help rather than hinder your health.
Ingredients
2 cups of puffed rice (you could also use or quinoa, or millet. If you opt to use a rice bubble type cereal just be aware they contain added sugar).
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
2 tbsp raw cacao powder
2 tbsp dark roasted peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, or a different kind of nut butter)
1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
pinch of salt
1/2 a block of 70% or higher dark chocolate
Directions
1. Place rice puffs into a mixing bowl.
2. In a small saucepan, add coconut oil, cacao, peanut butter, honey, and salt. using a small whisk or spoon mix to combine. You could also zap in a microwave.
3. Pour the mixture over the rice puffs and combine.
4. Place the mixture into a lined loaf pan and pat it down with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
5. Set in the fridge for two hours.
6. Melt chocolate in a bowl over a boiling saucepan or in the microwave
7. Spread over the top and set for another hour.
Note: These don't keep out of the fridge for very long *at all* due to the lack of copha so only take them out when you're ready to eat them, and put them back in as soon as you can.
