Holly Wreaths Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat-melt the butter.
• Add the marshmallows and food coloring-stirring constantly-until the marshmallows have melted.
• Remove from heat and fold in corn flakes until all the cereal is coated.
• Drop onto wax paper until cool enough to touch (but still warm).
• Form cooled/warm clusters into wreaths and finish by pressing in cinnamon candies to decorate.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring, until melted. Add the green food coloring and stir until evenly distributed. Remove from the heat, add the cornflakes and stir until well coated.
• Spray your hands with nonstick spray as needed during this step to ease in the shaping of the wreaths. Take 1/3 cup of the mixture and form an even log. Join the ends of the log together to form a wreath. Place the wreath onto one of the prepared baking sheets. Continue with the remaining cornflake mixture.
• Decorate each wreath with 3 small cinnamon candies. Let sit to firm before serving.

Steps:

• Line 1 cookie sheet with foil. Place cereal in large bowl. Melt candy melts as directed on package. Pour melted candy over cereal; toss to mix.
• For each wreath, drop about 3 tablespoons mixture onto foil-lined cookie sheet. With fingers, shape into 3-inch wreath with 1-inch center opening. Immediately decorate with cinnamon candies. Let stand about 5 minutes or until set.

Steps:

• 1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter and marshmallows. Stir frequently until you have a smooth mixture.
• 2. Turn off heat and add the vanilla and green food coloring. Stir until blended. Don't worry that the mixture is too green - it will be!
• 3. Stir in the corn flakes until all are coated. Use a folding motion so you don't smash the corn flakes too much.
• 4. Using 2 teaspoons, drop a heaping teaspoon of the mixture onto waxed paper sprinkled with powdered sugar. (I use a sifter to get the sugar onto the paper lightly, since you don't need a lot of the powdered sugar, just a light dusting.)
• 5. Work quickly so the mixture doesn't set up, which makes it hard to get them out of the pan. This recipe can be doubled, but I would recommend you try a single recipe first so you can see how they tend to start setting up.
• 6. After all the holly wreaths are out on the waxed paper, add 1-2 cinnamon decors to simulate the holly berries. (I recommend leaving off the cinnamon candies for small children).
• 7. Let the wreaths sit for about 1-2 hours to dry a bit. Then store in a container on waxed paper. You can make several layers in your container. Hint: if the bottom of the wreath seems too sticky after letting them sit, then lift them off the waxed paper with a spatula and dip the bottom into more powdered sugar before you store them.

Steps:

• Microwave marshmallows and butter on High for 2 minutes. Stir, then microwave on High for 2 minutes more. Stir. (This can be done in a double boiler if one doesn't have a microwave.)
• Add and mix quickly the coloring, extracts, then cornflakes. Drop by spoonfuls in clumps on greased wax paper and decorate with 3 red hots each.
• Once cool, transfer to lightly greased serving/storage tray with lightly greased fingers.

Steps:

• 1. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Place cereal in a large bowl. Melt the candy melts as directed on package. pour over cereal.
• 2. For each wreath, drop about 3 tbsps. of mixture onto foil lined cookie sheet. With fingers shape into wreaths with one inch centers. Immediately decorate with candies.
• 3. Let stand about 5 minutes or until set.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a 3 quart saucepan on Low.
• Add the marshmallows and melt completely - keep stirring.
• Add the green food coloring - keep stirring.
• Lower heat to Warm.
• Add corn flakes and mix until they are all green.
• Drop by teaspoons onto waxed paper to create the "holly".
• While each holly is still warm, add 3 Red-Hots as the berries (see Hint 1 at top if berries don't stick).
• Repeat until all the holly is on the waxed paper.
• Let cool and remove from waxed paper. Put on a party plate and enjoy!

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium heat in a large saucepot.
• Add marshmallows and stir until melted.
• Remove from heat and add green food coloring; stir well.
• Add cereal; stir until evely coated.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper.
• Top each with three red hots (Do this quickly and they'll adhere better).
• Let sit for one hour (if you can).
• Store in covered container laying clusters between sheets of waxed paper.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over low heat, melt together the marshmallows, butter, vanilla, and food coloring. Mix in the cornflakes cereal.
• Drop by spoonfuls on wax paper, and decorate with red hots. Set aside, and allow to cool.
