White Chocolate Snowflakes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Prepare cake batter and bake as directed on package for 24 cupcakes. Cool 10 min. (Do not remove cupcakes from pans.) Pierce tops with fork.
• Add boiling water to gelatin mix; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Spoon over cupcakes. Refrigerate 30 min.
• Meanwhile, melt chocolate as directed on package; cool 10 min. Pour into small resealable plastic bag. Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag; use to pipe chocolate into snowflake patterns on waxed paper-covered baking sheet. Refrigerate 15 min. or until firm.
• Remove cupcakes from pans. Beat cream cheese, marshmallow creme and drink mix in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add COOL WHIP; beat just until blended. Spoon into large resealable plastic bag; cut off one bottom corner, then use to pipe COOL WHIP mixture onto cupcakes. Top with chocolate snowflakes.

Steps:

• Stir together the whipping cream, milk, vanilla, and white chocolate chips in a slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on low for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot and chocolate chips are melted. Stir again before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and candy canes, as desired.

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.
