- 200 g Arnotts Royals biscuits see notes for substitutes
- 150 g white chocolate melted
- 12 spearmint leaves chopped into smaller slithers (see notes)
- 12 Jaffas see notes for substitutes
Place the chocolate Royals onto a flat board or tray.
In batches of 1-2, spread a little melted chocolate over the top of each biscuit allowing it to drip down the sides (to represent custard on a traditional pudding).
Add 2 of the chopped spearmint leaves to the top of each biscuit and a red Jaffa (to represent Christmas holly).
Allow to set before storing in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Ingredients Info:
Arnott’s chocolate Royals – these are made of chocolate covered marshmallow with a biscuit base and are very popular in Australia (see image below). If you can’t buy Arnott’s Royals, you can use a similar brand – such as Clouds, Schokokuss, Whippets, Mallomars, Tunnock’s teacake, MalloPuffs etc.
melted white chocolate – I recommend using cooking chocolate or chocolate melts as they melt easier than chocolate chips.
spearmint leaves – these can sometimes be a little tricky to find! You can buy spearmint leaves from most major and independent supermarkets or lolly shops in Australia. If you can’t find them, you can use any soft green jelly candy (like snakes, jubes etc).
Jaffas – these are a small round sweet consisting of a solid, orange flavoured chocolate centre with a hard covering of red coloured confectionery. They are made by Allen’s and are readily available in Australia. If you can’t find Jaffas you can use any round red coated chocolate you like (such as Smarties or M&Ms).
More Recipe Tips
Storing - these puddings can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Decorating tips - Only use a small amount of white chocolate (approximately 1 teaspoon) – using too much will make it difficult for the Jaffas and spearmint leaves to stay held in place.
