Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Green food coloring
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup Red cinnamon candies
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied.
Step 2
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
Step 3
Stir in the green food coloring and vanilla extract, mixing until the melted marshmallow mixture is uniformly green.
Step 4
Remove the pot from heat and immediately stir in the crispy rice cereal, folding the mixture gently but thoroughly to ensure all cereal is coated evenly.
Step 5
Spray your hands lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking, and begin forming small handfuls of the mixture into wreath shapes, about 3-4 inches in diameter. Work quickly, as the mixture can harden as it cools.
Step 6
Place the formed wreaths on a sheet of wax or parchment paper to cool and set.
Step 7
Before the wreaths harden completely, press 4-5 red cinnamon candies onto each wreath to mimic holly berries.
Step 8
Allow the wreaths to cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving or storing.
Step 9
Store the wreaths in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
