- 20 oz white chocolate

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and coat with non-stick spray. |
| 2 | Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or in the top of a double boiler, stirring until smooth. |
| 3 | Stir in the green food coloring until the chocolate is evenly tinted, then add the slightly crushed corn flakes, mixing until they’re fully coated. |
| 4 | Drop the mixture onto the prepared cookie sheets by generously rounded tablespoonfuls, spacing them about one inch apart. |
| 5 | Dip a chopstick in warm water, then insert it into the center of each chocolate-cornflake mound, making circular motions to create a hole and shape it into a wreath. |
| 6 | While the chocolate is still moist, arrange a few cinnamon red-hot candies on each wreath to mimic holly berries, using three to five candies for each wreath. |
| 7 | Place the cookie sheets in the refrigerator until the wreaths are cooled and firm. |
