Ingredients
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows

4 cups cornflakes cereal
Red cinnamon candies or red mini M&M’s (for decorating)
Cooking spray or butter (for your hands)
Instructions
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt butter.
Add marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and mix in green food coloring until the color is evenly distributed.
Gently stir in cornflakes, coating completely.
Lightly grease your hands, then quickly form the mixture into small wreath shapes and place on waxed paper.
Decorate each with 2–3 red candies while still sticky.
Let set at room temperature until firm.
