How to Make Mini Christmas Pudding Treats

  1. Crumble 200g of Christmas fruitcake into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  2. Add 2-4 tablespoons of brandy (or orange juice and brandy essence). Mix thoroughly until the fruitcake is evenly moistened.
  3. Gradually add more brandy (or orange juice mixture) if needed, until the mixture is moist enough to easily roll into small walnut-sized balls.
  4. Roll the mixture into small balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
  5. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the rolled balls onto the prepared baking tray.
  6. Melt 100g of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the balls to resemble custard.
  7. Use a teaspoon to help the chocolate run down the sides of the little puddings for a more realistic effect.
  8. Chop the snake lollies into small slices using scissors.
  9. Add two green and one red lolly piece to the top of each pudding to create holly.
  10. Arrange the lolly pieces loosely together to mimic holly leaves and berries.
  11. Refrigerate the tray for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.
  12. Store the Mini Christmas Pudding Treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
