Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 5 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Green food coloring
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Cornflakes cereal
- 36 pieces Red cinnamon candies
- 1 optional Cooking spray or butter for greasing hands
Instructions
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the green food coloring and vanilla extract until the color is evenly distributed.
Gently fold the cornflakes into the marshmallow mixture, making sure the flakes are fully coated but not crushed.
Coat your hands with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a small wreath. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Repeat until all the mixture is used, forming about 12 wreaths.
Decorate each wreath by pressing three red cinnamon candies onto one side to mimic holly berries.
Allow the wreaths to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
