Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 10 ounces marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon green food coloring
- 6 cups corn flakes cereal
- 0.25 cup red candy-coated chocolate pieces
- 1 for greasing hands non-stick cooking spray or butter
Instructions
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Add the marshmallows to the saucepan and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and green food coloring until the mixture is evenly colored.
Gently fold in the corn flakes cereal, ensuring all the flakes are well-coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Spray your hands lightly with non-stick cooking spray or grease them with butter. This will help prevent sticking as you shape the wreaths.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the coated corn flakes mixture and form it into a small wreath shape, approximately 3 inches in diameter. Place each wreath on a sheet of wax or parchment paper to cool.
Press a few red candy-coated chocolate pieces onto each wreath to resemble holly berries. Adjust their placement as needed for a festive look.
Allow the Corn Flake Christmas Wreaths to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Once set, gently peel the wreaths off the parchment paper and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
