Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups Mini marshmallows
- 0.25 cups Butter
- 1 teaspoon Green food coloring
- 6 cups Cornflakes cereal
- 0.5 cups Red cinnamon candies (for decoration)
- 1 as needed Non-stick spray or butter (for hands)
Instructions
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.
Stir in green food coloring to achieve a vibrant holly leaf color. Adjust the amount of food coloring as needed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the cornflakes cereal until evenly coated with the green marshmallow mixture.
Prepare a large piece of parchment paper or wax paper on a flat work surface.
Using hands sprayed with non-stick spray or lightly coated with butter, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a leaf-like shape. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Place red cinnamon candies onto the 'leaves' for holly berries while the mixture is still warm and sticky, pressing slightly to adhere.
Allow the holly leaves to set at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes or until firm.
Once set, transfer the holly leaves to a serving platter. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
