Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 10 ounces marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon green food coloring
- 6 cups corn flakes cereal
- 0.25 cup red candy-coated chocolate pieces
- 1 for greasing hands non-stick cooking spray or butter
Directions
Step 1
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Step 2
Add the marshmallows to the saucepan and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and green food coloring until the mixture is evenly colored.
Step 4
Gently fold in the corn flakes cereal, ensuring all the flakes are well-coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 5
Spray your hands lightly with non-stick cooking spray or grease them with butter. This will help prevent sticking as you shape the wreaths.
Step 6
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the coated corn flakes mixture and form it into a small wreath shape, approximately 3 inches in diameter. Place each wreath on a sheet of wax or parchment paper to cool.
Step 7
Press a few red candy-coated chocolate pieces onto each wreath to resemble holly berries. Adjust their placement as needed for a festive look.
Step 8
Allow the Corn Flake Christmas Wreaths to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Step 9
Once set, gently peel the wreaths off the parchment paper and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
