    I've never been a huge fan of white chocolate, but when it's combined with something salty -- like pretzels, or the salted peanuts in these snowflakes -- I can be swayed! - Merrill

    Makes about 40 snowflakes

    1 pound white chocolate, chopped
    2 1/2 cups Rice Krispies
    1 cup salted roasted peanuts


    1. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Stir in the Rice Krispies and peanuts, coating them evenly in chocolate.
    2. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the mixture in little mounds onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment. Refrigerate uncovered until the chocolate hardens, at least 30 minutes, before eating. Store the snowflakes in the refrigerator in a sealed container. less

    Gift giving requires a certain art and balance. Presents should be thoughtful, personal, but never showy ... it's no wonder the holidays are so full of stress. Luckily, make-at-home, edible gifts are the perfect solution for any stumped giver -- they're thoughtful and personal by definition, and who doesn't love something to eat? 'Tis the season of giving and eating. Why not combine the two?

      You can substitute an equal amount of fresh blueberries for the blackberries; be sure to rinse and dry them thoroughly before scattering over the batter.

      Yellow cornmeal produces a dessert that has a rich, golden color, but you could use white cornmeal instead.
