Ingredients

1/2 cup Salted Butter
10 oz Mini Marshmallows
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp Green Gel Food Coloring
5 1/2 cups Cornflake Cereal
50 Mini Red Candies (Red Hots or Mini M&Ms)
White Pearl Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

Add the butter to a large pot and melt over medium low heat. Stirring occasionally until the butter is melted. 1/2 cup Salted Butter
Add the marshmallows to the pot and stir until they are fully melted. 10 oz Mini Marshmallows
Add in the vanilla extract and green food coloring, and stir until the whole mixture has a nice green color. Add more food coloring as needed, until your desired shade is reached. 1 tsp Vanilla Extract, 1/4 tsp Green Gel Food Coloring
Add the cornflakes and stir gently until all the cornflakes are covered with the marshmallow mixture. 5 1/2 cups Cornflake Cereal
Drop the mixture in large spoonfuls onto a big piece of parchment paper. Make about 12 to 14 of them of equal size.
Spray your hands with nonstick spray and poke a finger into the center of the mixture. Spread the hole out a little bigger with your finger. Reshape the outside of the wreath as needed to make a circlular shape.
Press the red candies into the top of the wreaths. I like to do bunches of three. 50 Mini Red Candies
Sprinkle with white pearl sprinkles, if desired. White Pearl Sprinkles
Let the wreaths sit at room temperature to set for about 30 minutes before enjoying.
