No-Bake Rice Krispie Puddings

Steps

Prepare the Rice Krispie Mixture

• In a large heatproof bowl, combine the butter and golden syrup. Gently melt them together in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until fully combined.
• Stir in the melted milk chocolate until smooth and creamy.
• Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the mixture and gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.

Form Mini Bites

• Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, scoop out small portions of the mixture and shape them into mini bite-sized balls using your hands. Each ball should be around the size of a golf ball or smaller.
• Place the balls on the tray and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until they set and hold their shape.

Decorate the Bites

• Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds to avoid burning.
• Drizzle a small amount of white chocolate over each Rice Krispie bite to mimic the look of traditional Christmas pudding icing.
• Roll out the green fondant and cut small holly leaves (you can also shape them by hand if needed). Shape the red fondant into tiny berries or use small red candies.
• While the white chocolate drizzle is still soft, carefully place two fondant holly leaves and three red berries on top of each bite.

Let Them Set

• Return the decorated bites to the fridge for another 15 minutes to let the white chocolate set completely.
