Krispie Pud bites are fun to make and bring back the feel for home-made food presents.  They make a sweet and pretty accompaniment to a cup of coffee or if they are made larger, using fairy cake cases, a seasonal indulgence that costs little. Take a box to the office to test them out!

You can use cocoa pops for this.  It is gluten free and a chocolatey feast that is so simple to make.

Recipe Science

Cooks Know How: This recipe really demonstrates melting and the amazing technology involved in chocolate making.  You will see how fluid it is whilst hot and how is set hard when cold to hold the extra ingredients that you put in. You will probably make these to share and will reap rewards through the speed at which these little bites will disappear.  You might even enjoy sharing the making of a big batch of these if you double the recipe and remember to have big storage containers on hand.  If money is tight they make a special present if presented in a funky container and your effort is worth far more than money!
