Chocolate Crackle Nests are a simple to make chocolatey treat for the upcoming Easter break. Not that we need more chocolate but these are fun to do and easy enough for older children to make on their own. There is no copha to melt which means no need to supervise kids using the stove.
Bee requested we make Chocolate Crackles this weekend. We usually spend some time talking to both girls about what they would like to do each weekend. Sometimes they have enough ideas to make a list. Other times we go with the flow.

Bee remembers making Chocolate Crackles as part of the kids' activities at the holiday park we stayed at last year. She also remembers missing out on the Chocolate Pizza which is on our holiday to do list.
This version of Vegan Healthy Chocolate Crackles from Veggieful is even healthier than the traditional recipe too. Coconut oil is used instead of copha (a form of vegetable fat shortening) to make everything stick together. And maple syrup replaces the icing sugar as the sweetener. I haven't tried them but rice malt syrup and agave nectar would probably work well too. I prefer these crackles made with maple syrup as I don't find them as sickly sweet as the version made with icing sugar.
You could add in 1 cup of desiccated coconut just like traditional chocolate crackles or some chopped macadamia nuts if allergies aren't a problem.
