- Melt chocolate for 30 seconds in microwave stirring until smooth. You may need to repeat again if not melted depending on your microwave.
- Spoon half a teaspoon of chocolate on top of your Christmas Pudding Ball so that it looks like melting snow.
- Place a red M&M or raspberry lolly on the top of white chocolate then place a halved spearmint leave on either side of the red lolly to represent holly. Alternatively you can use sprigs of fresh mint and some glace cherries instead of lollies for decoration.
