Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 stick butter (unsalted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon green food coloring
- 4 cups cornflakes cereal
- 24 pieces red candy (e.g., mini M&Ms or red hots)
- 1 can nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and lightly spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and green food coloring until evenly combined, achieving a vibrant green hue.
Gently fold in the cornflakes cereal, making sure all the flakes are coated evenly with the marshmallow mixture.
Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Scoop out small handfuls of the mixture and shape them into wreath-like clusters. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
While the clusters are still sticky, press three red candies onto each wreath to resemble holly berries.
Allow the clusters to cool completely at room temperature until set, about 30 minutes.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your festive Christmas Holly Wreath Clusters!
