How To Make These Cornflake Wreaths
In a large pot, melt the butter.
Once the butter is melted, add the marshmallows.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the marshmallows are melted.
Add a generous amount (1-2 tsp.) of green gel coloring, and stir until it is fully incorporated into the melted marshmallow mixture.
Remove from the heat and add the corn flakes. Stir to coat all of the cereal.
To assemble the wreaths, add a piece of parchment or wax to a making sheet or sturdy cutting board.
Take about ⅓ cup of the mixture for each wreath.
Spray your hands with nonstick spray, and form the ⅓ cup mixture into a tube shape.
Connect the two ends to form your wreath, pressing them together, and shaping the cereal until you get your desired wreath shape.
Decorate with the red hots or the M&Ms.
Repeat for the remaining of the mixture.
Important Recipe Notes
For this recipe I used red hot candies, but you can use any red candies, like M&Ms, especially if you're sharing them with kids.
Don't want to use corn flakes? Use rice krispie cereal instead!
