First, melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Then, add in miniature marshmallows and stir until they are completely melted and combined with the butter. Once melted, remove the mixture from heat and add in a few drops of green food coloring until you achieve your desired shade of green.
Next, add in Rice Krispies cereal and stir until the cereal is completely coated with the melted marshmallow mixture. Then, using buttered hands or a buttered spatula, press the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper and shape it into a large circle, creating the base of your wreath.
Once the base is formed, use your hands to create a hole in the center of the wreath, making the shape of a traditional wreath. Then, add red cinnamon candies onto the wreath to resemble berries. You can also get creative and add other festive decorations such as sprinkles or edible glitter.
Once your wreaths are formed and decorated, allow them to cool and set for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the marshmallow mixture to harden and hold its shape. Once set, carefully remove the wreaths from the wax paper and they are ready to be enjoyed!
These rice krispie Christmas wreaths make for a perfect addition to any holiday gathering or can be packaged up as cute and delicious gifts for friends and family. So grab your ingredients and get creative with these easy and festive treats. Happy holidays!
