2 cups rice bubbles
1 cup dried cranberries, pasticcios & pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1 cup decimated coconut
1/2 cup icing sugar
1/2 cup white choc bits
250g copha

Put chocolate through a blender and mess it up a bit, or you can put it into a plastic bag and beat it up using a rolling pin, meat tenderiser, light sabre, cricket bat... whatever takes your fancy... Just moosh it.

Flash the cranberries and nuts in the blender a couple of times to break them up into chunky pieces... If you don't have a blender, use a knife. Rough cut the berries, squish the nuts and seeds using the flat. (or you can bash them like you did for the chocolate*)

Get a big saucepan (cos this next bit can get messy). Melt copha over a medium heat**, add other ingredients - mix well with a big wooden spoon.***

Put some of those cupcake paper thingies onto any flat tray-like things you have laying about. You don't need to go buy baking trays especially. You can use plates, cutting boards, Pizza Boxes... Your limit is your imagination!

put 1 big spoonful into patty papers.

Optional: Decorate****

refrigerate till they are firm. (like chocolate crackles) this should only take a few hours if your fridge has any clout, otherwise leave them in overnight and hope that your housemates don't find them while you are sleeping.



*you can't flash the chocolate in the blender because the heat of the blades melts the chocolate and makes more of a mess than I'm willing to clean up... ie. more effort than just a quick rinse under hot water

**you can tell it's medium heat because the knob will be 1/2 way around the dial.

***you aren't really truly properly cooking unless you use a big wooden spoon!

****We used those little silver balls on the top of ours... you can get them in red, green and silver packs around christmas... Or sprinkle some extra coconut on top, or tip out the nut dust that is in the bottom of the blender.
