White Christmas crackles


4 cups rice bubbles
1 cup desiccated coconut, lightly toasted
½ cup pistachio nuts, lightly toasted
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup dried figs
¼ cup glace cherries chopped,
1.5 cups white chocolate buttons
80ml cream
1 tablespoon glucose syrup

Combine rice bubbles, coconut, nuts and fruit in a large bowl. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pot of hot water. Add cream and glucose syrup and mix in. Pour this over the dry ingredients and gently mix. Scoop heaped tablespoons into patty cases.Chill until set and decorate with a drizzle of chocolate if desired and chopped cherries.
This recipe is from Simon in the Cook & the Chef & is the first time I've tried it. I put the mix into mini muffin trays & made about 48. You could make this into a bar or large patty tins.
