If you need a chocolate fix, it’s time for a Chocolate Crackle.

If you’ve lived in Australia your whole life like me, you would have had more than your fair share of Chocolate Crackles – most likely at every birthday party you ever went to as a kid.

These tasty treats are a childhood favourite, but let’s be real, I think I love them even more now – and you will too. If you’ve never had the pleasure of trying a Chocolate Crackle, you need to get on this right away.

Thankfully, I’m sharing my easy recipe for homemade Chocolate Crackles so everyone around the world can enjoy this oh-so-sweet treat.

What is a chocolate crackle?

• I’m so glad you asked. Chocolate Crackles are a homemade no bake treat consisting of chocolate and rice cereal, like Rice Bubbles or Rice Krispies.
• Some recipes use cocoa powder and sugar but I use real chocolate in my Chocolate Crackles. Trust me – it’s the BEST.
• Many recipes use copha to help stick the crackle together, which is essentially shortening. But in my opinion, it makes your crackles waxy and it has a soapy mouthfeel. So instead, my crackles use real chocolate and a little coconut oil for their sticking power 💪🏻

Do chocolate crackles need to be refrigerated?

• Yes! Keep these Chocolate Crackles in the fridge to ensure they keep their crunch.

Are chocolate crackles gluten free?

• You can make these Chocolate Crackles gluten free by using a gluten free rice cereal and gluten free chocolate. You could also make these vegan by using vegan chocolate.
