Chocolate Crackles are a childhood treat we used to get when we went to parties. My mother never made them, so if we went to a party or a fete, this is what I would choose to eat, to this day when I am out I will always eat what I do not make at home.
This is a super easy recipe, and what I decided to make also was an Easter version, where I pressed the chocolate crackle mix into Egg moulds. Once you have pushed the mixture into the moulds, scrape out a little from the centre so you can fill it with chocolate speckled eggs. Once set, they slide out of the moulds and you have Easter Crackles. If you can't find speckled eggs, small Easter eggs are good as are smarties.
My kids are a little over Easter Eggs, I truthfully every year still have eggs in the pantry from the previous year. They much prefer I make a batch of chocolate crackles to buying Easter eggs.
This is great party food as it can be prepared in advance.
This is one of those recipes that you don't eat very often, but when you do, you enjoy every single bite.
