How to Make Christmas Holly Treats

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
  2. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until fully combined and melted.
  3. Crush the corn flakes into small, coarse crumbs using a food processor or plastic bag and rolling pin.
  4. Gradually add the crushed corn flakes to the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until well coated.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each holly shape.
  7. Using a fork, gently press down on each mound to flatten it into a holly leaf shape. You can also use a cookie cutter if you prefer a uniform shape.
  8. Let the holly shapes cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or until firm.
  9. While the holly shapes are cooling, melt the red candy melts according to package directions.
  10. Once the holly shapes are firm, use a toothpick or small spoon to add small dots of melted red candy melts to mimic holly berries.
  11. If the berries don't stick, microwave the holly for 20 seconds on waxed paper before adding them.
  12. Let the berries set completely before serving. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
  13. Enjoy your homemade Christmas Holly Treats!
