How do you know when these Rice Krispie Christmas Puds are ready?
You’ll need to heat the Mars Bars and reduced fat margarine spread until melted.
Once you’ve combined the melted chocolate with the Rice Krispies, you’ll need to pop the mix in the fridge for around 15 minutes until it has firmed up.
Standard advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached 70°C and stayed at that temperature for 2 minutes. This is to keep your family safe.
Can you make these Rice Krispie Christmas Puds any other way?
If you don’t have a microwave then you could always melt the Mars Bars and chocolate by placing them in a heat proof bowl and putting the bowl over a saucepan of boiling water (make sure that the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl!).
How long can you store these Rice Krispie Christmas Puds for?
You should keep these Rice Krispie Christmas Puds in an airtight container. They should keep for 3-4 days (if you can resist them!).

Can I use regular Rice Krispies rather than Coco Pops so the puds are a little less sweet?
SharonMonday 17th April 2023
Hi Jacqueline, you could use Rice Krispies although this will make the finished result lighter in colour and less chocolatey in flavour. Hope this helps!
Eleanor KnowlesMonday 17th December 2018
I made these today for taster/party night tonight, they worked really well. Many thanks for the recipe. I found tiny Christmas tree sprinkles at Waitrose that worked well as holly leaves and freeze dried raspberry pieces for the berries. Happy Christmas!
Julie dimmickSunday 9th December 2018
Does any body know the amounts to use as it dosnt say I know it says four fun size mars bars but how much coco pop and how much flora light
JadeThursday 6th December 2018
Hi just wondering what the shelf life would be for the mini puddings as I’d like to make some as Christmas gifts
Linda ReillySaturday 1st December 2018
Hi, would you know the weight of the fun size Mars or the total weight of the Mars used. I wont be able to buy the fun size bars locally but would be able to buy a bar and measure. Thanks.
Amanda TarrantTuesday 30th October 2018
Hi there, do you think it would be okay if I made these on Wednesday evening for taster night on Thursday evening or would they go too soft or too hard?
AlisonSunday 17th December 2017
Can’t wait to make these for my taster Xmas party, I was going to use raspberry seeds for the berries, hope they look as good as yours. Thanks x
Anne BellieuThursday 19th October 2017
Where would I get the sugar balls from?
MechelleSunday 15th October 2017
These went down a storm at my early Christmas party this week. I’m making these for a third time this week. This time for my kids. Thankyou.
RebeccaWednesday 11th October 2017
Mine were also too sticky to roll into balls, even after over an hour in the fridge, so I’ve popped them in the freezer and hope that works ???? maybe the balance of chocolate to caramel isn’t quite right? Would 2 normal sized mars bars work better?
LisaTuesday 10th October 2017
How did you roll them into balls? Mine were too sticky. Just ended up being crispy cakes ????
Really want to make these for the party.
Emma TTuesday 10th October 2017
Hi Lisa,
If you wait for it to cool slightly then it won’t be quite so sticky. You could also try putting it into mini pastry cases to hold it in the right place ????
SallyTuesday 10th October 2017

DawnTuesday 10th October 2017
