Ingredients

• 5 cups Mini marshmallows
• 0.25 cups Butter
• 1 teaspoon Green food coloring
• 6 cups Cornflakes cereal
• 0.5 cups Red cinnamon candies (for decoration)
• 1 as needed Non-stick spray or butter (for hands)

Directions

Step 1

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.

Step 2

Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.

Step 3

Stir in green food coloring to achieve a vibrant holly leaf color. Adjust the amount of food coloring as needed.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the cornflakes cereal until evenly coated with the green marshmallow mixture.

Step 5

Prepare a large piece of parchment paper or wax paper on a flat work surface.

Step 6

Using hands sprayed with non-stick spray or lightly coated with butter, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a leaf-like shape. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Step 7

Place red cinnamon candies onto the 'leaves' for holly berries while the mixture is still warm and sticky, pressing slightly to adhere.

Step 8

Allow the holly leaves to set at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes or until firm.

Step 9

Once set, transfer the holly leaves to a serving platter. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
