Let their imagination run away with them with this super simple recipe that makes 4 edible baubles.
Ingredients
- 1 large bag Jelly Tots (or sweets of your choice)
- 1 100g bar of white chocolate
- 2 Rice Krispie Squares
You will also need
- Ribbon (to hang to the tree)
WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between. Be careful to check regularly as white chocolate is very temperamental to work with.
- Cut the Rice Krispie Squares in half then shape into balls with your hands.
- Dunk one ball at a time in the cooled white chocolate then place on a piece of greaseproof paper. Gently place the sweets onto the white chocolate, pressing down to ensure they stick. Leave the bottom free from sweets.
- Once all the balls are covered, place in the fridge to set.
- When the balls are set, remove from the fridge and gently turn over so the sweet-free base is face up.
- Cut a length of ribbon and place both ends on the base and cover with a thick layer of the melted chocolate to stick. Place back in the fridge until firmly attached, then hang from your tree.
