Step By Step Cornflake Holiday Wreaths

Make the marshmallow coating:
Add the butter to a small saucepan, then stir in marshmallows and keep stirring until completely melted
Remove from heat, and add one drop of food coloring (add more to your personal preference in color)
Stir in the cornflakes
Drop them onto parchment paper, and use the back of a teaspoon to make the center ring for the wreath (or as it cools your finger dipped in cold water works also) add the cinnamon red hots on the wreath for a pretty red holly look

how to make marshmallow cornflake cookie wreaths

Tips for Making Cornflake Holiday Wreaths

stir the marshmallows constantly on low to medium heat with butter until completely melted
add the green food coloring one drop at a time after the marshmallows are melted
when shaping the wreath either use cooking spray oil on your index finger to make the hole in the center or dip your finger in water (this prevents it from sticking)use parchment paper instead of wax paper
if you added too many marshmallows and these stay sticky and don't set up right and harden the first time, add everything back to the pan and remelt the mixture with the cornflakes stirring constantly and adding more cornflakes proceed again ( I have done that several times!)

Ingredients

4 cups cornflakes or more
1 bag of mini marshmallows ( 10 ounces of marshmallows) or around 30 large
1 stick of butter (4 ounces)
green food coloring 1 or 2 drops
red hots cinnamon candy for decoration

Instructions

Melt the marshmallows in a heavy-duty saucepan with butter.
Add three drops of green food coloring to the pot and stir until all blended and melted together.
Add the cornflakes.
I use an ice cream scooper to make the rounds.
Drop them onto parchment paper, and use the back of a teaspoon to make the center ring for the wreath (or as it cools your finger dipped in cold water works also) add the cinnamon red hots on the wreath for a pretty red holly look
TIP: Parchment paper is so much better than the wax paper they won't stick at all!
