How to make chocolate crackles

November 10, 2014 by Kate 9 Comments

Do you know how to make chocolate crackles? They are a delicious sweet treat for children that use very few ingredients are usually gobbled up quickly at kids birthday parties. What’s even better, they are so simple that children can get involved in the making process!

Chocolate crackles take me back to my childhood. I remember them always being one of the first treats to quickly disappear from the table. To be honest, I haven’t made them in years, but their simplicity and the fact they avoid many common allergens is very appealing to me, since Possum (almost 3 years old) has a severe egg allergy.

Pouring, mixing, scooping is all part of the fun!

There are many benefits to involving children in the process of cooking. Many people feel a little nervous about the mess that can be potentially made when a little one is included, however, it all should be seen as part of the fun and not the problem. Children get so much enjoyment by being included and part of making something special. 

Chocolate crackles are what I would call a ‘sometimes food’. They are not something we would find ourselves eating everyday, but something that is considered a special treat and what we might find them at a party or similar celebration. While I cook with Possum I find that these simple conversations about health, nutrition and being conscious about our food choices naturally come up, which I think is important to have with children at an early age. 🙂

Enjoying chocolate crackles. Great for kids parties

I find this picture so funny! Possum doesn’t gets the opportunity to eat sweet foods very often and so this picture accurately depicts her enjoyment of these chocolate crackles. I don’t actually blame her, they are seriously delicious. 

What special treats do you remember enjoying as a child?

    Hi, I was wondering to make these crackles but I don’t use copha. So else can I use?
    Love your little cute assistant.

      Hi Judy! Thank you for your question. Copha is a vegetable fat shortening that comes from coconut oil. You can get it at your supermarket.

    I am sooo glad I ran across this website!!! I have the flu right now, but I’m super excited to try your recipes once I get better. I have an egg allergy too, so thank you so much for sharing your easy egg-free recipes! I am so sorry about Possum’s egg allergy, and I really hope she grows out of it! (Also, she is absolutely adorable 🙂 )

Have you had it since being a child? Thank you so kindly for your comments. Possum is incredibly good with managing her egg allergy. She makes me very proud. 🙂
