The picture looks great! I'm from the US, so I'm not familiar with some of your terms... what is icing sugar? Is that possibly powdered sugar? And desiccated coconut copha? I have no idea what that is! I'm assuming that Rice Bubbles are the same as our Rice Krispies....

Im so sorry, I keep forgetting to add a conversion etc.
Icing sugar is the US powdered sugar
Desciccated Coconut is shredded coconut
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copha
Copha is very hard to find in the US but you could substitute with a very clear vegetable shortning
Until now I thought Rice Krispies were just like our weeties, but after a little research its proven me wrong.
We have the same product, made by the same company the only different is the name, ours are Bubbles yours are Krispies. So your right Rice Krispies it is...
I hope this helps a little
