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!
