Christmas Cornflake Wreaths
These festive Cornflake Wreaths are not only visually appealing but also incredibly tasty. They combine the crunchiness of cornflakes with the sweetness of marshmallows, all shaped into festive wreaths. They are perfect for decorating your holiday table and sharing with friends and family.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups cornflakes
- 16 ounces mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Green food coloring
- Red candy berries or M&M’s (for decoration)
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and a few drops of green food coloring to the melted mixture, stirring until evenly distributed. You can adjust the color to your preference.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the cornflakes. Make sure the cornflakes are well coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, making it easier to handle. Once it’s cool enough, grease your hands with butter or cooking spray.
- Take small portions of the cornflake mixture and shape them into wreaths by forming a ring with your hands. Use your thumbs to create a hollow center.
- Place the formed wreaths on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set. While the wreaths are still warm, you can add red candy berries or M&Ms for decoration.
- Let the wreaths cool completely until set and firm.
- Once hardened, the Cornflake Wreaths are ready to serve. They are perfect for holiday parties, gift exchanges, or simply to enjoy during the festive season!
