Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter
60 large marshmallows (about 6 cups)
2 tablespoons green food coloring
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 cups cornflakes
Cinnamon red-hot candies, for garnish
Cooking spray
Optional Twists
½ teaspoon peppermint extract (for a minty holiday touch)
White chocolate drizzle over finished wreaths
Mini M&M’s or sprinkles instead of (or in addition to) red-hots
Instructions
In a large pot, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until smooth.
Remove from heat. Stir in food coloring, vanilla, and optional peppermint extract.
Gently fold in cornflakes until evenly coated.
Working quickly, spray your hands or a spoon with cooking spray. Scoop small portions (about ¼ cup each) onto wax paper. Shape into wreaths with a hole in the center.
Decorate with red-hots, M&M’s, or sprinkles while still sticky.
Let set for 20–30 minutes before serving.
