Recipe Instructions:
-
In a double boiler, melt the margarine together with the vanilla and green food coloring, stirring until well combined and smooth.
-
Once the mixture is melted, add in the marshmallows and continue to stir gently until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Carefully fold in the corn flakes until they are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
-
Remove the mixture from the heat source, ensuring it’s cool enough to handle.
-
Taking heaping tablespoons of the mixture, drop them onto waxed paper, shaping them into wreath-like circles. Use your fingers to create a hollow center, resembling the opening of a wreath.
-
While the mixture is still tacky, gently press three cinnamon candies onto each wreath to mimic the look of berries on a poinsettia.
-
Allow the wreaths to cool and set completely before serving.
-
Once cooled and set, these delightful Christmas Wreaths are ready to be enjoyed by all!
Notes:
- To add a decorative touch, consider tying a festive ribbon around each wreath.
- These wreaths can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week, making them perfect for gift-giving or enjoying throughout the holiday season.
- Feel free to get creative with additional decorations such as edible glitter or sprinkles for an extra festive flair!
