MARSHMALLOW SNOWFLAKES

Steps:

• Coat a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray; line with parchment paper. Spray parchment; set aside. Pour 1/3 cup cold water into the bowl of an electric mixer. Sprinkle with gelatin; let mixture soften, about 5 minutes.
• Place sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1/3 cup water in a medium saucepan. Cover; bring to a boil. Remove lid; cook, swirling pan occasionally, until syrup reaches 238 degrees (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer, about 5 minutes.
• With mixer on low speed, whisk gelatin mixture, and slowly pour the syrup in a steady stream down the side of the bowl (to avoid splattering). Gradually raise speed to high; beat until mixture is thick, white, and has almost tripled in volume, about 12 minutes. Add vanilla, and beat 30 seconds to combine.
• Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet; smooth with an offset spatula. Let stand at room temperature, uncovered, until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Coat a 1- or 2-inch snowflake-shaped cookie cutter with cooking spray to prevent it from sticking. Cut out as many individual marshmallows as possible; coat cutter with more spray as needed. Use marshmallows immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

CORN FLAKE SQUARES

• Put into a greased 9x13-inch pan.
• Chill.

SWEET TORTILLA SNOWFLAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°.
• Fold each tortilla into quarters and then snip out shapes with clean scissors as if to make a paper snowflake; add decorative cuts but not too many that your snowflake is too delicate and breakable. (If your tortillas are stiff, you can soften them in the oven for a minute or so).
• Place the snowflakes on lightly greased or sprayed baking sheets and bake 5 to 7 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
• Remove from oven and immediately dot each snowflake with about a dozen evenly spaced chocolate chips, then return the flakes to the oven just until the chips start to melt.
• Transfer the snowflakes to a cooling rack and "frost" the snowflakes with melted chips.
• Place frosted snowflakes in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to set the chocolate, then sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
