As a kid growing up in Australia, there are few staple treats that appear at pretty much every school fete or birthday party you go to growing up. Fairy Bread, Coconut Ice, Frogs in a Pond, Honey Joys and the ever popular Chocolate Crackles.
Although a degree of adult supervision is required due to the hot melted Copha, chocolate crackles are usually one of the first things you learn how to make as they are really simple and can be decorated however you like with sprinkles of all shapes and sizes, mini choc chips or grated chocolate for example. For this batch I decided to mix things up a little and replace the desiccated coconut that is in the original recipe with something a little more exciting… popping candy!!!
Mars Bar Slice is probably not something that you usually see on a high tea menu, but when I recently purchased a new three tiered server I was in an extreme chocolate mood and given had a few Mars Bars on hand, I thought it was a good enough reason to make a childhood favourite.
