Snowflake crisp is a Taiwanese treat of biscuits, nuts and dried fruit, all bound together with gooey marshmallow and milk powder for a balance of sweet, salty and nutty. Similar to both rice crispy treats and nougat candy, snowflake crisps include milk powder, which helps balance the sweetness of the marshmallow and brings an iconic creamy, milky flavor to the finished treats. Mixing and matching a variety of add-ins is key; we fill our version with the holiday flavors of pistachio and cranberry, then add freeze-dried strawberries for bright notes and butter crackers for salty goodness.

Ingredients

Directions
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, leaving overhang on all 4 sides. Tear off another sheet of foil large enough to cover the baking pan. Lightly spray the foil-lined baking pan and extra foil with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until completely melted. Stir in the milk powder, pressing out any lumps, until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt until combined. Fold in the pistachio and cranberries until evenly distributed. Gently fold in the freeze-dried strawberries and crackers until just coated and evenly distributed; some crackers will break, which is okay.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and cover with the prepared foil greased-side down. Gently press the mixture evenly into the corners of the pan. Set aside until cooled completely, about 1 hour.
- Remove the foil from the top of the treats and cut them into bite-size pieces.
Cook’s Note
Milk powder can be purchased in supermarkets and online. We highly recommend using the whole milk version, but nonfat milk powder can be substituted.
