How you make milk chocolate crumb?

Ingredients:

* 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

* 1 cup granulated sugar

* 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

* 1/4 cup milk powder

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1/4 teaspoon salt

* 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions:

1. Cream Together: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

2. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, milk powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the creamed butter mixture. Mix well to combine.

3. Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.

4. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will firm it up and make it easier to work with.

5. Crumble the Dough: Remove the dough from the refrigerator and crumble it into small pieces using your hands or a pastry cutter. You can use a grater for a more uniform crumb.

6. Optional Baking: For a slightly crispier crumb, spread the crumbs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted.

7. Store: Store the cooled crumbs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:

* Milk Powder: The milk powder adds a richer milk chocolate flavor and helps create a crumbly texture. You can use regular milk if desired, but the crumbs may be less crumbly.

* Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference.

* Crumb Size: Experiment with different crumb sizes depending on your desired application.

* Use: Milk chocolate crumbs are great for topping desserts like ice cream, cheesecakes, and brownies, adding to cookies, or using as a decorative element in baked goods.
