Description
Muffin Pan White Christmas Crackles are festive treats made with white chocolate, puffed rice, coconut, and decorated with raspberry lollies and pistachios.
Ingredients
Scale
- 125 ml sweetened condensed milk
- 50 g butter, chopped
- 360 g white chocolate, chopped and divided
- 80 g puffed rice cereal
- 65 g desiccated coconut
- 120 g red raspberry lollies, chopped
- 55 g pistachios, chopped
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil (for chocolate coating)
- Red raspberry lollies, very finely chopped (for decoration)
- Pistachios, very finely chopped (for decoration)
Instructions
- Grease a 12-hole muffin pan (80 ml capacity per cavity) and line the bases with small rounds of baking paper or fit with paper cases.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and 100 g of the chopped white chocolate to a small saucepan. Stir over low heat for 5 minutes until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine puffed rice cereal, desiccated coconut, chopped raspberry lollies, and chopped pistachios. Use fingertips to separate the lollies if necessary.
- Pour the cooled condensed milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until well combined. Divide evenly among the prepared muffin holes, pressing and smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.
- Place the remaining white chocolate and vegetable oil in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir with a metal spoon until completely smooth, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water.
- Spoon melted chocolate mixture over each set crackle, gently tapping the pan to smooth and settle. Sprinkle the surface with extra finely chopped raspberry lollies and pistachios. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until chocolate is set. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Ensure not to overheat the chocolate to prevent seizing.
- These crackles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a variation, you can substitute other types of candy or nuts.
