Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 180 g (6.3 ounces) mini marshmallows
- 100 g (3.5 ounces) Rice Krispies (or Coco Pops)
- 200 g (7 ounces) milk chocolate
- 50 g (1.75 ounces) unsalted butter
Chocolate Decorations:
- 50 g (1.75 ounces) white chocolate
Decoration Ingredients:
- White sugarpaste (or pre-colored sugarpaste)
- Green food coloring gel
- Red food coloring gel
Instructions
- Gently heat milk chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low temperature until smooth and fully combined.
- Incorporate mini marshmallows into the chocolate mixture, stirring continuously until completely melted and integrated.
- Transfer Rice Krispies into a spacious mixing bowl and pour the warm chocolate mixture over them, mixing thoroughly to ensure even coating.
- Allow the mixture to cool for 2-3 minutes to facilitate easier handling.
- With slightly dampened hands, carefully shape the mixture into uniform round pudding-sized balls using a tablespoon measure.
- Arrange the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt white chocolate using a double boiler method or microwave, ensuring smooth consistency at 50% power.
- Transfer melted white chocolate into a piping bag, allowing it to cool slightly for precise drizzling.
- Prepare sugarpaste decorations by tinting with food coloring: create green holly leaves using a specialized cutter and small red berries by rolling tiny balls.
- Remove chilled pudding balls from refrigerator and delicately drizzle white chocolate over each one.
- Immediately garnish with prepared holly leaves and berries while white chocolate remains soft, ensuring decorations adhere perfectly.
Notes
- Prevent sticky hands by lightly dampening them with water when rolling Rice Krispie balls, ensuring smooth and easy shaping.
- Microwave chocolate and marshmallows carefully to avoid burning, stirring every 15-20 seconds for even melting.
- Create gluten-free version by using gluten-free crispy rice cereal and checking chocolate ingredients for potential gluten contamination.
- Keep puddings chilled to maintain shape and enhance the texture, allowing white chocolate decoration to set quickly and securely.
