Add a few drops of vanilla extract to the melted Copha for extra flavour.
Stir in 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips with the dry ingredients.
Decorate the tops with colourful sprinkles once spooned into the patty cases, before chilling.
For a 'white chocolate' version, omit the cocoa powder and use melted white chocolate instead of Copha (adjusting quantities as needed and ensuring it's suitable for melting).
