Clean Chocolate Crackles

By Lilian Dikmans

Recipe

Growing up in Australia, chocolate crackles were a regular fixture at kids’ birthday parties. I personally loved them in all their sugary glory. But it’s actually pretty easy to whip up a healthier version.

Instead of using hydrogenated fats, table sugar and processed cocoa powder as per the typical recipe, you can easily use raw extra virgin coconut oil, a less refined sweetener and raw cacao powder instead.

I love to use raw cacao powder to make these Clean Chocolate Crackles. It gives such an intense chocolatey flavour and a nice hit of antioxidants. For sweetener, pure maple syrup, rice malt syrup or honey will all work.

I also use puffed brown rice in the recipe. You can buy puffed brown rice from health food shops or in the health food section at many supermarkets. It does have a slightly earthier flavour, but I personally like it. You could use puffed white rice if you prefer.

8 mini crackles

Prep time
10 mins

1 hour chilling

  • 2 x 20ml tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil, softened
