How to Make Holly Wreaths

  1. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and marshmallows. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler or over low heat on the stovetop, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  2. Stir in the vanilla extract and green food coloring. Add food coloring gradually until you reach your desired shade of green.
  3. Remove from heat and gently stir in the cornflakes until evenly coated. The mixture will be hot; use caution.
  4. Line two baking sheets with wax paper. Lightly spray your hands with cooking spray.
  5. Working quickly (the mixture will harden quickly), shape the mixture into wreath shapes on the prepared baking sheets. You may need to re-spray your hands as you work.
  6. Immediately press small cinnamon candies into the wreaths to resemble holly berries.
  7. Allow the wreaths to cool completely (at least 1 hour) or refrigerate for faster cooling. Once cooled, they will be firm.
