Holiday Wreaths

Posted

These are a great holiday sweet treat to make with kids.

Cornflakes take the place of traditional crisp rice cereal in these no-bake treats. Dressed up with green food coloring and red candies, these wreaths are great fun to make and look beautiful on a plate with holiday cookies.


Ingredients:

20 large marshmallows

2 Tablespoons butter or margarine

Green food coloring

3 cups cornflakes

72 (approximately) mini red M&Ms or Cinnamon Imperial candies


Instructions:

In a microwave safe bowl, combine the marshmallows and butter. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1 minute or until butter is melted and marshmallows are puffed. 

Add food coloring; mix well.

Stir in the cornflakes.

Shape into 3-inch wreaths on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Immediately press red candies in three clusters of three berries. 

Let stand until set. 


Happy Holidays!
