Ingredients
  

For the Puddings
  • 200 g Milk Chocolate Substitute with dark or white chocolate if desired.
  • 50 g Unsalted Butter Can be replaced with margarine or coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 100 g Mini Marshmallows Use plant-based marshmallows for a vegan alternative.
  • 150 g Rice Krispies Coco Pops will add a delightful chocolatey twist.
For the Decoration
  • 100 g White Chocolate May swap it with colored candy melts for a fun flair.
  • 100 g White Sugarpaste Consider marzipan for a different texture.
  • 1 tsp Green Food Colour Gel Adds vibrant color to the sugarpaste.
  • 1 tsp Red Food Colour Gel Adds vibrant color to the sugarpaste.

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Baking Tray
  • Parchment Paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, over low to medium heat, combine the milk chocolate and unsalted butter, stirring until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until fully incorporated.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the melted chocolate mixture over a bowl filled with Rice Krispies. Gently combine until the Rice Krispies are evenly coated. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
  3. Dampen your hands and take small portions of the mixture to roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set.
  4. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth. Drizzle over each pudding using a fork or piping bag.
  5. Use colored sugarpaste to create holly leaves and berries. Roll small pieces into desired shapes and color with food color gel, then press onto the drizzled chocolate.
