Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt marshmallows and butter in a large saucepan.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla and green food coloring.
- Carefully stir in cornflakes until coated.
- Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper.
- Shape into wreaths; decorate with red hots to make berries.
Tips & Substitutions
For a festive twist, consider using colored chocolate candies instead of red hots for decoration. If you want a less sweet version, reduce the marshmallows to 6 cups and swap out half the cornflakes for nuts or dried fruit. Store opened marshmallows in an airtight container to keep them fresh for your next baking adventure.
Serving Suggestions
These edible wreaths make a delightful holiday treat and can be served at parties or given as gifts. Pair them with hot cocoa or coffee for a sweet afternoon snack. They also make a fun addition to a dessert table alongside other festive goodies like Granny'S Strawberry Cake or Jack-O'-Lantern Cake.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover wreaths in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Avoid refrigerating them, as this can cause the wreaths to become stale. If you want to enjoy them later, you can gently reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds to soften the marshmallow, making them easier to reshape.
