Rice Krispie Mini Christmas Puddings

With Christmas fast approaching, there is nothing better than surrounding yourself with plenty of chocolaty, Christmassy goodness and treats. I'm pretty sure I ended up getting chocolate in my hair whilst I was making this - not sure how though! This recipe is a quick, easy and fun to do and impresses guests; also they go really well with a cup of tea and coffee. Just saying! Everyone loves the classic Rice Krispie cakes, so why not give them a little festive twist!

Prep Time: 1 Hour (including fridge time and setting)  | Serves: 24

Ingredients 

• 50g Unsalted Butter
• 180g Mini Marshmallows 
• 100g Rice Krispies 
• 200g Milk Chocolate 
• 100g White Chocolate 
• Festive Sprinkles (Holly) 

Equipment 

• Baking Tray
• Baking or Greaseproof Paper 
• Mixing Bowl (Must be able to be used to melt chocolate in) 
• Spatula
• Two Saucepans (1 small enough for one of the mixing bowls to sit on top of; the other large) 
• Food Bag

How to make Rice Krispie Mini Christmas Puddings 

1. Melt the butter into a large saucepan.
2. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows into the saucepan and mix until completely melted. 
3. Remove from the heat and add the Rice Krispies into the mixture and mix until completely covered. Put to one side once mixed. 
4. Melt the milk chocolate in a bowl over a smaller saucepan filled with boiling water. Once melted add the chocolate into the mixture with the Rice Krispies, marshmallows and butter. 
5. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Take a small handful of the mixture, roll it into ball and place it on the baking tray. 
6. Once you've found out all of the mixture, place the baking tray into the fridge to set for 30 minute. Double check they're set before removing them from the fridge, if not give a little longer. 
7. Once they have set, melt white chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan filled with boiling water. 
8. When the chocolate has melted, carefully spoon the chocolate into a food bag, push all the chocolate to one corner and twist the top of the bag until tight. Cut a small hole at the bottom of the bag to be able to pipe. 
9. Gently squeeze a blob of the White chocolate on top of the Rice Krispie mini puddings - don't worry if too much goes over the side. 
10. Place chocolate or festive sprinkles on the White chocolate and leave to set. Place in the fridge for another 30 minutes.
11. Once set... ENJOY! 

Another delicious festive treat ready for the big day, Au Revoir!
