These cute mini Mars Bar Christmas Puddings will go down a treat at Christmas parties and they’re so easy even the kids can make them!
This recipe was actually a happy accident. I wanted to make some sort of chocolate crackle pudding for Christmas but when I went to the pantry, we were out of milk chocolate because someone who shall not be named had eaten it while I was overseas! We were fully stocked in the Mars Bar department though and it turns out that with all that chocolatey caramelly goodness, Mars Bars make the perfect chocolate crackle – chewy and crispy in equal measure!
I have had a long term love affair with Mars Bars ever since I used to eat them for breakfast before my exams at high school… And for breakfast  before every test and exam I’ve taken since. In fact, I proudly attribute all my academic success to my Mars Bar breakfasts, I know it sounds a bit mad but don’t knock it until you try it ‘kay" In recent years, I’ve swapped Mars Bars for breakfast for Mars Bars in baking… Remember those yummy Mars Bar Cookies, those scrumptious  Mars Bar Brownies and let’s not forget Heather’s mars-vellous Mars Bar Slice!
Like my Easy Christmas Cupcakes, these mini crackles are super simple to make. I got a bit OCD over my puddings and used an egg cup and some plastic wrap to get the perfect shape every time, but if you’re pushed for time or not bothered, just dollop the chocolatey rice bubbles...
