Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 5 heaping cups mini marshmallows (or about 52 large marshmallows)
- 1 teaspoon green food coloring
- 6 cups cornflakes cereal
- 1/2 cup red hots (small red cinnamon candies)
Instructions
- Measure Cornflakes: Place 6 cups of cornflakes into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup butter. Once melted, add 5 heaping cups of mini marshmallows (or about 52 large marshmallows) and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
- Add Food Coloring: Stir in 1 teaspoon of green food coloring to the melted marshmallow mixture until evenly combined.
- Combine with Cornflakes: Pour the melted marshmallow and butter mixture over the measured cornflakes in the bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure all cornflakes are well coated.
- Form Wreaths: Lay out a piece of parchment paper on your kitchen counter. Grease your hands with butter, cooking spray, or dip them in a little water to prevent sticking. Dollop spoonfuls of the coated cornflake mixture onto the parchment paper and use your fingers to shape each into an individual wreath.
- Decorate: Carefully press red cinnamon candies (red hots) onto each wreath to decorate and mimic holly berries.
Notes
- Store the wreaths in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- For longer storage, freeze the wreaths for up to 3 months.
