A delightful festive treat made with Rice Krispies, chocolate, and decorative toppings, perfect for Christmas celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (for topping)
  • Red and green M&M’s or small candies (for decoration)
  • Green icing or fondant (optional for holly leaves)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently melt the butter, milk chocolate chips, and golden syrup, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
  2. Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted chocolate mixture and stir thoroughly until all cereal pieces are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture, ensuring every crisp is covered.
  3. Allow the mixture to cool slightly so it’s easier to handle. Then, scoop out heaping tablespoons and roll each into a ball to form mini pudding shapes. Place each formed ball onto a parchment-lined tray to prepare for chilling.
  4. Refrigerate the shaped pudding balls for 20 to 30 minutes until they are firm and hold their shape well.
  5. Melt the white chocolate chips using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler method until smooth.
  6. Spoon a small amount of melted white chocolate over the top of each Rice Krispie ball to mimic traditional custard. Before the white chocolate sets, adorn each pudding with red and green M&M’s or small candies to represent holly berries and leaves. Optionally, add green icing or fondant holly leaves for an extra festive look.
  7. Return the decorated puddings to the refrigerator until the white chocolate topping is completely set. Once firm, they are ready to be served or stored in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
