Leftover Christmas Pudding Bon Bons

use leftover Christmas pudding to make these boozy bon bons

Ingredients
  

  • 125 g dark chocolate finely chopped
  • 350 g cooked and cooled christmas pudding
  • 60 ml brandy
  • 100 g white chocolate finely chopped
  • Sprinkles for topping

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet (that will fit in the fridge) with clingfilm, baking parchment or foil and set it to one side while you make the bonbons.
  • Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl suspended above a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave.
  • Crumble the cold Christmas pudding into a bowl, add the brandy sherry and stir until all is incorporated.
  • Pour in the melted dark chocolate and stir again.
  • This is the sticky part.
  • Pinch out small lumps of mixture and roll so that you have little rounds about the size of a chocolate truffle. You should get about 30 out of this mixture.
  • Cover with clingfilm and place into the fridge to firm up.
  • To decorate, melt the white chocolate either in a heatproof bowl suspended over a pan of simmering water or microwave.
  • Using a teaspoon, drip a little of the melted but slightly cooled white chocolate on each bonbon, then arrange sprinkles to resemble a Christmas pudding.
