WHITE CHOCOLATE SNOWFLAKES

Steps:

• 1. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and stir until smooth. Stir in the Rice Krispies and the peanuts and coat each evenly in the chocolate.
• 2. Drop about a teaspoon of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper. Before eating put the mixture in refrigerator uncovered until it hardens . Store the snowflakes in the refrigerator in a sealed container so the chocolate doesn't melt.

WHITE-CHOCOLATE SNOWFLAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine cookie dough, melted white chocolate, and flour. Divide dough in half. Cover and chill about 1 hour or until dough is easy to handle.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the dough at a time until 1/8 inch thick. Use a 2-1/2- to 3-inch snowflake-shape cookie cutter to cut out dough. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer to a wire rack; cool.
• Spread Creamy White Glaze over cookies. While still wet, sprinkle with coconut. Let stand until glaze is set. Makes about 36 cookies. Creamy White Glaze
• In a small bowl, stir together frosting and milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until glaze reaches a drizzling consistency. Makes about 1 cup. Layer cookies (do not glaze if freezing) between waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw cookies if frozen, then glaze.

SNOWFLAKE PRETZELS

Steps:

• Put a sheet of baking parchment or a non-stick tray liner on a baking tray. Melt the chocolate or candy melts carefully in a microwave or in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water - don't let any water get into the bowl or allow the base of it to touch the water. Turn off the heat but leave the bowl on the pan. Add the pretzels and stir well.
• Lift the pretzels out of the chocolate with a fork, shaking them a little so the excess chocolate drips off, then put them on the tray and in the freezer for 5 mins to set. Dip the pretzels in the chocolate again, then lay four at a time together on the tray and push them together, with the pointy ends in the centre, to make a snowflake shape. Add a blob more chocolate with the end of a teaspoon in the middle of each snowflake so they hold together when set. Before they set, decorate with the sprinkles. Leave somewhere cold to set completely - you can use the freezer if you want to speed up the process.
• If you want to make the pretzel snowflakes into lollipops, melt the extra 50g chocolate as before and make eight well-spaced blobs, the size of a 1p coin, on some non-stick liner. Put a paper lolly stick on each blob so one end is in the chocolate, then press a pretzel snowflake gently on top and leave somewhere cold to set. Will keep for one to two days in a cool place.
