Christmas Corn Flake Wreath

*
*8 cups Cornflakes

*1 pound bag Mini Marshmallows

*6 tablespoons Butter

*Green Food Coloring, 1 teaspoon or more until desired color

*Red Cinnamon Candies

*Silpat or Parchment Paper

*6 White Candy Wafers, melted in the microwave for candy glue

*
In a stock-pot on medium-low heat, add the butter and melt, then add marshmallows.

Stir the marshmallow mixture until almost melted butter and add the food coloring.

Stir again until color is incorporated and then fold in the corn flakes until the corn flakes are coated.

*
Form corn flake mixture into a wreath shape. Then add 3 red candies to the wreath with a dab of candy glue making a red candy holly cluster to each wreath. Note: I used a Bundt pan sprayed with cooking spray. Then added the corn flake mixture spreading evenly in the Bundt pan and pressed down firmly. Allow to cool and then remove from pan and add red candies as desired making a holly corn flake wreath.

*
Allow wreath to set and enjoy

Enjoy!

Crumbly Peanut Butter Pretzel Crisps

~ lindy

Now before we get started making theses Crumbly Peanut Butter Pretzel Crisps. THESE ARE CRUMBLY!!!

This being said you may want to dip the entire Pretzel Crisp in the chocolate coating to make a less messy bite.

The main reason I wanted to make these is because the smaller pretzels are just toooooo…. hard for me and so I like these you will just need a plate under your chin when you take a bite!!!

I do love the powdered peanut butter filling with less calories and not as greasy. I hope you enjoy these messy thin bites!!!

Hint: If you bite the end without the dipped chocolate it will be much less messy!

Crumbly Peanut Butter Pretzel Crisps

Makes around 30 (1/2 tablespoon) filled pretzel Crisps

*Bag of Pretzel Crisps, there are so many that are broken in the bag, choose the best ones

*1 and 1/2 cups Ghirardelli Melting Wafers, melt according to directions on package, you will needed more if you cover the whole pretzel Crisp

Peanut Butter Filling:

*1 cup Powdered Peanut Butter

*4 tablespoons Butter or Plant Based Butter, Melted

*1/2 cup Brown Sugar

*1/3 cup Powdered Sugar

*1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

*Pinch Kosher Salt

*2 to 3 tablespoons Water, add as needed

Combine in a bowl the peanut butter, melted butter, brown sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt and water as needed. Mix until well combined and semi-sticky dough.

Place 1/2 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture onto the backside of one of the pretzels and carefully pressing flat as to not break the pretzel and add another pretzel to the top and dip into melted chocolate mixture as desired. Allow them to set on wax paper or parchment paper or Silpat baking mat.

Enjoy!
