How to Make Christmas Cornflake Wreaths?
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large pot melt butter
- Add marshmallows and stir until melted.
- Add the green food coloring and vanilla, stir until the marshmallow mixture is smooth.
- Add the cornflakes and gently stir to coat the cereal evenly with the marshmallow mixture.
- Working quickly, use a greased 1/4 cup measuring cup to dump the cornflake mixture in mounds on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Use your fingers (grease them well) to form the mounds into wreath shapes.
- Immediately add red candies for decoration.
You can use any kind of small red to make the berries. Red mini M&Ms would work beautifully. Remember that to attach them, you’ll need to work quickly so the marshmallows will still be sticky enough to hang on to them
Can you Add Any Favor Extracts to the Cornflake Wreaths?
Absolutely! You could add a teaspoon of almond extract or vanilla extract after adding in the green food coloring.
How Long Will Cornflake Wreath Cookies Last?
If you store them in an airtight container, they should stay fresh for about 5 days.
