- 100 grams Rice Krispies
- 200 grams milk chocolate
- 50 grams unsalted butter
Decorative Ingredients:
- 50 grams white chocolate
- White sugarpaste
- Green food coloring gel
- Red food coloring gel
Conversion Measurements:
- 180 grams = 6.3 ounces mini marshmallows
- 100 grams = 3.5 ounces Rice Krispies
- 200 grams = 7 ounces milk chocolate
- 50 grams = 1.8 ounces unsalted butter

Instructions
- Gently melt milk chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat, maintaining smooth consistency.
- Incorporate mini marshmallows into the melted chocolate mixture, stirring continuously until completely integrated and glossy.
- Transfer Rice Krispies into a spacious mixing bowl, then cascade the warm chocolate-marshmallow blend over the cereal, ensuring thorough and even coating.
- Allow the mixture to cool momentarily, preventing excessive stickiness and facilitating easier shaping.
- Using slightly dampened hands, carefully form the mixture into uniform spherical shapes resembling miniature puddings.
- Arrange the pudding-shaped clusters onto a parchment-lined tray, then refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes to solidify.
- Create white chocolate drizzle by melting in a heatproof bowl positioned over simmering water, ensuring gentle heating.
- Transfer melted white chocolate into a piping apparatus, letting it cool to a manageable temperature.
- Prepare sugarpaste decorations by tinting with food coloring: craft verdant holly leaves and crimson berries using specialized cutters.
- Once chilled, delicately drizzle white chocolate over each pudding, creating an elegant cascading effect.
- While the chocolate remains soft, artfully position holly leaves and berries, completing the festive miniature desserts.
Notes
- Use dampened hands when forming Rice Krispie balls to prevent sticky mixture from clinging to fingers.
- Chill the puddings for exactly 30 minutes to ensure they hold their shape perfectly without becoming too hard.
- Microwave marshmallows in short bursts to avoid burning and maintain smooth chocolate mixture consistency.
- Select high-quality white chocolate for drizzling to enhance both flavor and appearance of the Christmas puddings.
