Ingredients:

  • 4 cups Rice puffs
  • 1 & ½ cups Icing sugar
  • 1 cup Desiccated coconut
  • 1 cup Cranberries, dried
  • 250g Copha, chopped
  • 3 tbsp Cocoa
  • 2 tbsp Silver ball cake decorations
  • 24 Paper patty cases

Method:

  1. Place rice puffs, icing sugar, coconut, cranberries and cocoa in a large mixing bowl
  2. Melt the Copha over a low heat in a saucepan and allow to cool slightly
  3. Add to the rice puff mixture, stirring thoroughly until combined
  4. Spoon mixture evenly into patty cases and refrigerate for approximately an hour until firm
  5. Dot each crackle with 3-4 silver ball cake decorations each to give it an eggs-tra special Easter touch.

Notes:

  • An easy recipe to make with children at Easter, these sweet treats are ready to enjoy in less than 90 minutes. Copha no longer contains trans-fats, but if you’re looking for a less processed alternative, organic virgin coconut oil can be used and is available from health food stores. It will set to a solid in the fridge.
