Christmas Cornflake Wreaths. My favorite!

Every year my mom and I make Christmas cookies, we always try something new to add to our collection, but can never do with out our cornflake wreaths. Sometimes they don't even make it passed the wax paper before they're gone.

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter
4 cups mini marshmallows
1 teaspoon green food coloring
6 cups cornflakes
1 box red hot candies

Directions

1. Roll out a sheet of wax paper to form the wreaths on.

2. Melt margarine in large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in food coloring. Careful this part is super hot!

3. Add cornflakes to marshmallow mixture and stir until well coated.

4. Place about 1/4 cup of the mixture on the wax paper and quickly shape into individual wreaths. You can spray your fingers with a cooking spray to keep the mixture from sticking, but be very careful, the mix is still very hot.

5. Decorate finished wreaths with red hot candies

6. Enjoy!

7. If you have any left over (we never do) store in a single layer in an air tight container.
