It's like shortening or lard, only much harder and made from coconut oil.

and great for making anything which has melted chocolate in the recipe! The copha helps it to stay only semi solid.

How is it pronounced?

The English in me would say Cop-ha
but the Italian would say Cofa.

It is very rich and loaded with almost 100% saturated fat. It has a unique silky and waxy kind of texture and is used mostly to bind together rice bubbles (rice krispies in other countries) into various sweets. :p

No because it's coconut oil and you can't actually taste it, it's not 'coconutty'.

Have you never had a chocolate crackle? Everyone on this forum needs to go buy a box of rice bubbles and make a batch - you're not allowed to call yourself an aussie unless you have chocolate crackles at every kids party.
