Instructions
Make the Rice Krispie puddings: Add the chocolate and the butter into a saucepan, and gently melt over a low to medium heat. Then add the mini marshmallows and gently stir until they've melted and combined. Alternatively, melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave, then add the marshmallows. Blast for 30 seconds and stir until fully melted.
In a large mixing bowl, add the Rice Krispies. Pour over the marshmallow and chocolate mixture and stir together until fully coated. Leave the mix to cool slightly.
Using a tablespoon divide the mixture into equal amounts, and roll each into a pudding ball. Dampen your hands a little before rolling, it helps your puddings to not stick to your hands too much.
Place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Allow the puddings to cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.

The puddings will keep in the fridge for up to a week.

The mixture can be a little stiff so if you prefer a softer Rice Krispie treat, cut down on the chocolate to 100g instead.
When heating the mixture, gentle, low heat will give your soft and chewy treats. Too high and you’ll end up with rock hard puddings.
Be careful when heating the butter and chocolate as overheating the chocolate can cause it to cease. It should be nice and smooth.

Love this delicious recipe. My kids and I had a great time making these. We tailored the decorations to be Halloween theme and made pumpkins and mummies. Super easy, thanks!
love these treats! super easy to make, and I'm making them for the second time this fortnight. They are the perfect, cute Christmas treat and my family loved them. I found my chocolate, butter and marshmallow mixture rather stiff and not quite 'pourable', but it still worked fine.
Made these yesterday. They’re great. Very easy recipe.
Made for a family get together tomorrow.
Adding the marshmallows the mixture went all gooey, impossible to add rice krispies into the mixture properly, when chilled came out like brittle toffee, could not get white chocolate to melt (used Dr Oettker chocolate chunks) what's going wrong?
My mum has just made these with chocolate truffles instead of Rice Krispies, they're fantastic!
