Ingredients
Scale
For the Base
- 100 grams Coco Pops
- 4 funsize Mars Bars (around 78 grams total)
- 2 teaspoons reduced fat spread
For Decoration
- 25 grams white chocolate
- Red sugar balls, herb leaves, or readymade holly decorations
Instructions
- Melt the Mars Bars and Spread: Halve the Mars Bars and place them into a microwaveable bowl along with the reduced fat spread. Microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Combine with Coco Pops: Fold the Coco Pops carefully into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring every piece is fully coated with the chocolate and spread mixture.
- Form the Mixture Heaps: Using a spoon, place about 30 small heaps of the coated mixture onto a tray lined with baking parchment or a non-stick surface.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the tray in the fridge for approximately 15 minutes, or until the mixture has firmed up enough to hold its shape.
- Shape into Balls: Once set, shape each heap into neat balls resembling small Christmas puddings.
- Decorate: Melt the white chocolate gently, either in a microwave or using a double boiler, then drizzle a little over each ball. Finish by decorating each pudding with red sugar balls and herb leaves or ready-made edible holly decorations for a festive look.
Notes
- Use short bursts in the microwave to avoid burning the Mars Bars and spread.
- You can substitute Coco Pops with Rice Krispies if preferred.
- Ensure the mixture is chilled properly before shaping to avoid sticking.
- For a dairy-free option, consider using dairy-free chocolate and spread alternatives.
- Decorations can be customized according to preference or dietary needs.
