How to Make Chocolate Snowflakes

  1. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup Nutella, 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 1/4 cup milk, and 2 cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped pecans and 1 cup crushed cereal (such as Rice Krispies or Cornflakes).
  3. Mix until well combined.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. While the balls chill, prepare the frosting: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-4 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  6. Once the balls are chilled, roll each ball in the frosting and then in 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut.
  7. Place the frosted cookies back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 15 minutes before serving.
