Snowflake Crisps 雪花酥

I have to thank my mom for this one because she's the one that introduced me to this super addictive snack! She made these many months ago and I've been dying for her to teach me so what's a better time than now. These are basically like rice krispies, but Asian and completely decked out lol. The crackers give a nice soft crunch and the nuts and dried fruit add so much flavour. Also what I love about these is that they don't taste super sweet.

I thought I would switch it up and experiment with different flavours and they turned out delicious.

Directions

1. Break the ritz crackers in half, so it's easier to incorporate later on.

2. Melt the butter in a pan or wok.

3. Once the butter has completely melted, add in the marshmallow and melt it down. Continue to stir so everything is combined.

4. Mix in the milk powder and other powders if making other flavours.

5. Add in the nuts, dried fruit and crackers. Gently but quickly cover everything with the melted marshmallows. For better results, use your hands and a pair of gloves. Fold mixture over and over itself to ensure the marshmallow has evenly coated everything.

6. Before it hardens, place into a pan with corners.. Really pack it in tight so when you go to cut it, everything is intact. Once it takes shape, sift a little bit of milk powder on the top and bottom so it doesn't stick to the pan.
