Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 5 cups Mini marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon Green food coloring
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 cups Cornflakes cereal
• 36 pieces Red cinnamon candies
• 1 optional Cooking spray or butter for greasing hands

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the green food coloring and vanilla extract until the color is evenly distributed.

Step 4

Gently fold the cornflakes into the marshmallow mixture, making sure the flakes are fully coated but not crushed.

Step 5

Coat your hands with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a small wreath. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6

Repeat until all the mixture is used, forming about 12 wreaths.

Step 7

Decorate each wreath by pressing three red cinnamon candies onto one side to mimic holly berries.

Step 8

Allow the wreaths to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
