Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Green food coloring
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup Red cinnamon candies
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the green food coloring and vanilla extract, mixing until the melted marshmallow mixture is uniformly green.
Remove the pot from heat and immediately stir in the crispy rice cereal, folding the mixture gently but thoroughly to ensure all cereal is coated evenly.
Spray your hands lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking, and begin forming small handfuls of the mixture into wreath shapes, about 3-4 inches in diameter. Work quickly, as the mixture can harden as it cools.
Place the formed wreaths on a sheet of wax or parchment paper to cool and set.
Before the wreaths harden completely, press 4-5 red cinnamon candies onto each wreath to mimic holly berries.
Allow the wreaths to cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving or storing.
Store the wreaths in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
