Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice bubbles, Milo powder, and desiccated coconut (if using). Stir to evenly distribute.

1. Melt the wet ingredients: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the honey or golden syrup and powdered sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and well-combined.
2. Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Pour the melted butter and sugar mixture into the rice bubbles mixture. Stir well until everything is fully coated with the syrup mixture.
3. Shape the crackles: Spoon the mixture into paper cupcake liners or a lined muffin tray, pressing it down lightly to form small clusters. You can also spread the mixture into a baking dish and cut it into squares once it sets.
4. Chill the crackles: Place the tray in the refrigerator and allow the Milo Crackles to chill for about 1-2 hours, or until they firm up and hold their shape.
5. Serve: Once set, remove the crackles from the liners or tray, and they’re ready to serve!
