Sounds good but what is copha? Is it butter?

Hi Ruby,
Copha is vegetable shortening made of solidified coconut oil. The product is used in cookies and other desserts. While infrequently used in the US it is quite popular in Australia.
Ingredient Substitutions
Try substituting coconut butter. Vegetable shortening is poor, flavorless substitute.
I hope that helps a little. If you cant find any of those, try using melted chocoate, but it makes it really a rich choclate taste
