Notes

Recipe Hints and Tips:

  • Protect them Now, Enjoy them Later - If you plan on making your balls in advance, store in the fridge on a tray covered in Cling Wrap for up to one week.
  • Freeze Right - Christmas Pudding Balls are suitable for freezing for up to 1 month. We recommend placing six in a Sandwich Sized Snap Lock Bag and then storing the bag horizontally to reduce the risk of the balls sticking to one another. Don't forget to label and date the bag.
  • Make them in Advance – rather than spending Christmas morning in the kitchen, make Christmas Pudding Balls in advance. That way you can spend more time kicking back on the lounge with hubby or playing with the new toys with the kids.

Get More out of your Christmas Pudding Balls

  • Liven Up Your Party - Christmas Pudding Balls are great fun for Christmas parties as they are the perfect size and shape for little mouths.
  • Get Creative - Or, give your milk and bickies a festive spin by popping a Christmas Pudding ball onto a straw and serving in a cup of milk.
  • Serve Santa Some Balls - Christmas Pudding Balls also make a great snack for Santa on Christmas Eve. Don’t forget the milk.
  • Get the Kids Involved - Get the kids in on the Christmas spirit by letting them decorate the tops and even having the odd sneaky lolly as a reward for their hard work. We have a blast making these at the SAHM office and I just know they are going to go down a treat at your place too! So give them a try today!
