Categories: Desserts, Ethnic
Yield: 6 Servings

8 oz Copha
8 oz Icing sugar
3 1/2 ts Cocoa

NOTES:

* A traditional Australian sweet snack -- Mention this recipe to an
Australian abroad and he will instantly get homesick. Yield: serves 6.

* Rice Bubbles are called Rice Krispies in North America. Icing sugar is
confectioner's sugar. Sultanas are like raisins. Copha, it would appear, is
utterly unavailable outside Australia. It is a partially-solidified
shortening made of coconut oil.

: Difficulty: easy if you can get the ingredients.
: Time: 5 minutes preparation, 1 hour cooling.
: Precision: approximate measurement OK.
