6 cups of corn flakes
1 bag of marshmallows
green food coloring
cinnamon red hots
paper plates
This recipe is a fun-filled holiday recipe that is similar to Rice Crispy Treats substituting corn flakes for the Rice Krispies. The corn flakes replicate leaves in a wreath. The green also replicates the festive green holly leaves for the holiday theme. The red hots represent the holly buds.
- Melt the stick of butter on low - be sure let the butter get halfway up the sides of the pot to avoid sticking.
- Melt the marshmallows until smooth.
- Add food coloring to desired tint (I used about 40-50 drops to get a darker color)
- Add corn flakes and stir thoroughly so the green marshmallow gets spread over as much of the corn flakes as possible.
- If you are making larger wreaths, this makes 3-4 wreaths on larger paper plates. If using smaller paper plates is should make about 10-12.
- Form the cornflake marshmallow mixture in wreath shapes on the paper plates.
- If your simmer burner won't burn the marshmallow mixture it is good to add the red hots while the marshmallow mixture is still sticky. You can always microwave a wreath for 20 seconds to soften and allow it to get sticky again.
- Place red hots around the wreath to the desired density.
- Wrap in cling wrap or zip lock bags to store.
Great holiday treats for party or gifts.
