Method

1. Melt together the copha and chocolate over a medium heat or microwave on 50% power for 1 ½ minutes, stirring occasionally until smooth.
2. Spread the mixture in a thin layer onto a tray lined with foil.
3. Whilst the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle evenly with the popping candy.
4. Mark the chocolate into large triangular shards with a warm knife and allow to set in a cool place until required.

Notes: Popping candy shards can also be decorated with pure gold leaf (this is edible) for a more glamorous garnish to any dessert platter.
