I don't think Temily means that she saw white bits in the slice. Copha,
which sets very hard when refrigerated, is often used here by melting and
mixing with chocolate to make a shiny topping or coating that sets hard.
Or it's mixed in with other ingredients to make a sweet or slice that is
not cooked, but sets hard.
