Essential Ingredients and Tools

Tools

  • Non-stick frying pan
  • Baking spatula (a regular spatula can be used as a substitute; 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 recommended)
  • Biscuits (non-stuffed biscuits recommended; Xiaofu or specialized Snowflake Crisp baking biscuits are good choices)

Measurements

Per batch:

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

Instructions

  • If the biscuits are larger than a one-yuan coin, cut them into small pieces first.
  • Add the unsalted butter to the pan and heat over low heat until completely melted.
  • Add the marshmallows to the pan and stir with a spatula until melted and evenly combined with the butter.
  • Add 20g of milk powder to the pan and stir with a spatula. Turn off the heat immediately after the milk powder is evenly mixed with the butter and marshmallow mixture.
  • While still hot, add the prepared mixed nuts and biscuits to the pan and stir with a spatula.
  • Once the mixture cools down to a touchable temperature, put on disposable plastic gloves. Knead in the pan or pull and stretch with both hands to evenly distribute the biscuits, nuts, marshmallows, butter, and milk powder.
  • Press the mixture into the mold, pressing the edges firmly. Use a rolling pin to flatten it. For any uneven sides, use your hand to press them into straight edges as much as possible.
  • Let it cool at room temperature. Once completely cooled, remove from the mold. Cut into pieces following the mold's lines or into your preferred size. Sprinkle with the remaining milk powder, ensuring all sides of the Snowflake Crisp are coated.
