Sheila ~ copha is solidified coconut oil, copha is the brand name in Australia but not sure what it is in US. You only need a little bit to make chocolate easier to work with. (which is just as well cause it's really unhealthy LOL but it keeps forever in the fridge. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteOh I KNOW those candies have got to be delightful! they have all of my favorite ingredients. Thanks for the recipe.
