Corn flakes are the star ingredient in these holiday wreaths. Not only do they add a delicious crunch, but they also give the wreaths their signature green color. You can use any brand of corn flakes, but make sure they are plain and not coated in sugar.
Butter is essential for binding the corn flakes together and giving them a rich and buttery flavor. Make sure to use unsalted butter so you can control the saltiness of the wreaths.
Marshmallows are what hold everything together in this recipe. They melt down and create a sticky, sweet mixture that coats the corn flakes and helps form them into wreaths.
To give these wreaths their festive green color, you'll need some green food coloring. You can use liquid or gel food coloring, just make sure to add it slowly and adjust the color to your liking.
Red hots are the perfect finishing touch for these holiday wreaths. They not only add a pop of color, but they also add a hint of cinnamon flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet and buttery wreaths.
To start, melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once melted, add in the marshmallows and stir until fully melted and combined with the butter. Add in a few drops of green food coloring and mix until the mixture is evenly green.
Next, add in the corn flakes and stir until they are fully coated in the marshmallow mixture. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
While the mixture is still warm, use your hands to form the corn flakes into small wreaths. Place them on a sheet of wax or parchment paper to cool and harden.
Once the wreaths are formed, add a few red hots to the top of each wreath to mimic holly berries. Let the wreaths cool completely before serving.
These corn flakes holiday wreaths are a fun and easy treat to make during the holiday season. They are sure to be a hit at any gathering and can even be packaged up and given as gifts. So grab your ingredients and get ready to spread some holiday cheer with these delicious and festive wreaths.
