I love it when your child announces that they absolutely must take ‘something yummy into school today, Mamma’ on the very day that said item is required. There’s nothing like a flat-out impending parent-fail to make your creative juices flow. It also helps if you have what could be described as a ‘sprinkle fetish’. Thus I found myself with a packet of Chocolate Digestives, a bar of white chocolate, some jelly diamonds, red chocolate buttons and a plan to make quick and easy Christmas Pudding biscuits.
Step 1: open biscuit packet. Spread biscuits on flat surface or cooling rack.
Step 2: melt chocolate. I used my fancy-schmancy new double boiler but you could use a microwave.
Step 3: prepare sprinkles. This is crucial because once you are ready to go, you will be sprinkling like mad and trying to stop small people from eating all the sprinkles before they hit the biscuits. Cut your green jelly diamonds in half length-wise. Seperate out red (and pink at a push) buttons from other colours.
Step 4: Smear melted white chocolate over the top of your digestive in manner of Christmas Pudding.
Step 5: plonk on a couple of chocolate buttons for holly and a pair of jelly diamond slivers for holly.
Step 6: repeat. Cool. Eat.
very clever idea

Can’t believe I’ve just faffed around making biscotti when I could have made these gorgeous little biccies. They look fab.
those are super cute, I think they look great.
Very clever! Love it!
Wow! I love your idea!! These biscuits look amazing and i’m quite sure they are delicious too! I’m going to try making them with my daughter for the Christmas Eve…she loves help me cooking, she will be more than happy to do it and to show her creations to her cousins! Thank you! Any other great idea???
What a fab idea, must do these with the boys
Thanks Mad House- I’m sure Maison Cupcake’s will be more impressive when she makes them: we were talking about them at the #Droetkerbaking twitter party.
Thanks for visiting Marta’s Mummy- there are quite a few simple cookery ideas if you search for yummy recipes in the categories section.
