Ingredients and Tools

  • Non-stick frying pan
  • Baking scraper (can use a spatula instead, be careful not to damage the non-stick coating)
  • Disposable plastic gloves
  • Snowflake crisp/nougat mold
  • Rolling pin Ingredients
  • Unsalted butter
  • Marshmallows
  • Whole milk powder
  • Mixed nuts (Three Squirrels Daily Nuts)
  • Biscuits (non-filled biscuits, recommended Xiao Qifu or small biscuits made for snowflake crisp baking)

Measurements

  • Unsalted butter 20g
  • Marshmallows 75g
  • Whole milk powder 40g
  • Mixed nuts 60g
  • Biscuits 75g

Steps

  • If the biscuits are larger than a 1 yuan coin, cut them into small pieces first.
  • Add unsalted butter to the pan and heat on low until the butter is completely melted.
  • Add marshmallows to the pan and stir with a scraper until the marshmallows melt and evenly combine with the unsalted butter.
  • Add 20g milk powder to the pan and stir with a scraper. Once the milk powder is evenly mixed with the butter-marshmallow mixture, turn off the heat immediately.
  • While hot, add all the prepared mixed nuts and biscuits to the pan and stir with a scraper.
  • When the temperature drops to where you can touch it, put on disposable plastic gloves and knead in the pan or lift and pull with both hands, so the biscuits and mixed nuts are evenly dispersed in the marshmallow-butter-milk powder mixture.
  • Press the mixture from the above steps into the mold, press the corners firmly, roll flat with a rolling pin, and press the unfilled side into a straight edge as much as possible by hand.
  • Let it cool at room temperature. After completely cooled, unmold and cut along the mold lines, or cut into your preferred size. Sprinkle the remaining milk powder, trying to coat every side of the snowflake crisp with milk powder.

Notes

  • The longer the marshmallows are heated, the harder the final product will be.
