Ingredients:
- 2 cups salted peanuts
- 2 cups candy coating
- 2 cups pretzels, broken in half
- 2 cups rice cereal
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 cups dried cranberries
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Melt the Candy Coating: Begin by melting the candy coating either in the microwave or using a double boiler until smooth and creamy.
-
Prepare Pretzels: While the candy is melting, take the pretzels and break them in half. This step ensures they are ready to be mixed into the recipe later.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl or pan, combine the broken pretzels, rice cereal, mini marshmallows, dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, and salted peanuts. Mix everything together well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Drizzle Candy Coating: Once the candy coating is melted and smooth, drizzle it over the dry mixture in the bowl. Stir continuously as you drizzle to ensure that all the ingredients are coated evenly with the candy coating.
-
Drop by Spoonfuls: Working quickly, use a tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper or parchment paper. The mixture should be still warm and pliable, making it easy to shape into delicious snowflake treats.
-
Allow to Dry: Let the dropped mixture dry for approximately 30 minutes. This allows the candy coating to set and the ingredients to firm up, creating the perfect texture for these delightful snowflake treats.
-
Store and Enjoy: Once dry, store the Snowflakes in a covered container to keep them fresh. They are now ready to be enjoyed or gifted to friends and family, spreading holiday cheer with every bite!
With their crunchy texture, sweet flavor, and festive appearance, these Snowflakes are sure to become a favorite holiday treat for everyone who tries them. Enjoy the magic of the season with these delightful candy or cookie creations! ๐โจ
