Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use fresh corn flakes to ensure a crispy texture. If you want a twist, consider substituting mini chocolate chips for the red hot candies, or use different food coloring to create a variety of wreaths. Make sure to work quickly when shaping the wreaths as the mixture will harden as it cools. For a festive touch, add sprinkles or edible glitter on top.
