Step By Step Cornflake Holiday Wreaths

1. Make the marshmallow coating: 
2. Add the butter to a small saucepan, then stir in marshmallows and keep stirring until completely melted
3. Remove from heat, and add one drop of food coloring (add more to your personal preference in color)
4. Stir in the cornflakes
5. 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

Ingredients You Will Need to Make Holiday Cornflake Wreaths

• corn flakes
• mini marshmallows
• butter
• green food coloring
• red hots cinnamon candy for decoration

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!)
