Ingredients
- 50g butter
- 1 x 180g pack white mini marshmallows
- 125g Rice Krispies Cereal
- 250g milk or dark chocolate
- 40 pretzels
- 20 red Smarties
- 1 x pack white ready-to-roll icing
Step by step
Get ahead
Decorated pops keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container. The crispie pop base (undecorated) can be frozen for up to 1 month.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the cereal until well coated.
- Use a greased spoon to transfer to a lined and buttered 20 x 30cm tin. Press down using a sheet of baking paper to give a level top. Leave until cooled and set, then cut into 20 rectangles (cut 5 long strips, then cut each strip into 4). Arrange on a lined tray and push a lolly stick into each one.
- Melt the chocolate and spread over two-thirds of the crispie (leave the third closest to the stick uncovered). Add pretzels as antlers and a red Smartie for a nose. Roll tiny balls of white ready-to-roll icing for eyes and press in, adding a dot of chocolate for the pupils. Chill until set. Gift in cellophane bags, tied with a festive ribbon.
