This recipe is for Milk Crumbs used by Momofuku Milk Bar in New York City. They use it in cookies, as a coating for cake pops, etc. It’s a truly yummy, unique garnish. I use this as my garnish for Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes. Yum!

I made the chocolate cookies and added the above recipe during my Christmas baking after seeing it on Martha Stewart and they were a hit, so good...that stuff is addictive. Just the right amount of salty/sweet. I have not tried it with the white chocolate, but plan on it. Thanks for posting the recipe and refreshing my memory. It's a keeper!
Thank you for this wonderful recipe! it sounds yummy...quick question. Could this be used as a filling? if so, for what kind of cake?
Rosie2, well they are dry and basically like between small to pea-sized crumbs. I have never thought about using them as a filling, as they aren't wet like a typical filling...maybe they could be if mixed with frosting or a ganache? Might add some crunch. I would think they would compliment many flavors but especially white, chocolate and strawberry would be good I'd think!
