Good Morning everyone, Tamy here again. Today I’m filling in for Emily and I thought I’d offer you this easy and colorful recipe for the upcoming Christmas season. Kids LOVE these! Well, to be honest so do the adults.
My great aunt who I only got to see a couple times a year used to make these every year special for me and I would wait out on the front steps for her arrive just to see them and know they were there. She always made them soooooooooo pretty and perfect!
HOLIDAY WREATHS
(these are better when they are made a few days ahead)
30 large marshmallows (or 1 jar marshmallow cream)
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoon green food color
3 1/2 cups cornflakes
Red Hots
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoon green food color
3 1/2 cups cornflakes
Red Hots
- Combine marshmallows, butter, vanilla and food color in top of double boiler. Heat and stir frequently until well blended.
- Gradually stir in cornflakes until well blended.
- Drop onto wax paper and arrange into wreath shapes. I plop them onto the wax paper and then push out from the center to form the wreaths.
- Decorate with red hots.
- Let cool.
- If your house is warm – chill in refrigerator until set.
That definitely packs the colors of Christmas, doesn’t it. I guess this is one of those dishes where you have to work fast once you start to go or the mix will cool and get too stiff.
I love these! My boys do too. I’ll have to make some pretty soon!
