I think it is marketed here as "artery blocker".   

Hey Leonie, are coconuts grown in Australia?

Irene - and you can't even hear my accent!

Follow the link above for copha - it has a recipe for chocolate crackles - almost standard kids' birthday party fare ( with frankfurts, sausage rolls and fairy bread. )

MacBeth, I THINK coconuts are grown in Australia - in the state of Queensland? I know, all this food is not healthy but....

OK, I got curious and found this link. Apparently there isn't any American equivalent (or British, come to that!). Scroll down and you can find a copha-free recipe for chocolate crackles, and links to a couple of places you can buy copha in the US.

How strange - copha must definitely be an Aussie thing! Thanks for the link, Kathryn.

I use lots of coconut oil. Looking at the recipes, I think regular coconut oil--which is solid at room temperature--might work. Tomorrow, I'll experiment and let you know.

Gosh, Leonie, I'd love to hear your accent .

Let me know how the coconut oil works, Elizabeth.

Re accents - I know Cindy said Luke was sometimes hard to understand ( Aussie-ism! )
