Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon green food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups cornflakes cereal
- 1 cup red cinnamon candies (or red candy-coated chocolates)
- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Step 2
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the green food coloring and vanilla extract until the mixture is evenly colored and fragrant.
Step 4
Gently fold in the cornflakes cereal until they are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 5
Prepare a work area with sheets of wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking. Lightly spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 6
Scoop roughly 1/4 cup of the mixture onto the prepared work surface. Shape it into a small round wreath, leaving a hole in the center. Work quickly, as the mixture will begin to set.
Step 7
Decorate each wreath with 3 to 4 red cinnamon candies (or red candy-coated chocolates) to resemble holly berries.
Step 8
Allow the wreaths to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until firm.
Step 9
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
