Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 20 large marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Green food coloring, as needed

Mix-ins

  • 3 cups cornflakes

Decoration

  • About 2 tablespoons red M&M’s minis

Instructions

  1. Prepare marshmallow mixture: Place the marshmallows and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave uncovered on high for about 45 seconds or until the butter is melted and the marshmallows have puffed up.
  2. Add color and mix: Add green food coloring to the melted marshmallow mixture and stir thoroughly until the color is evenly distributed. Then, gently fold in the cornflakes, making sure they are well coated.
  3. Form wreath shapes: Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Using buttered hands to prevent sticking, quickly divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a 3-inch wreath by forming a ring with a hole in the middle.
  4. Decorate wreaths: Immediately press the red M&M’s minis onto each wreath to resemble holly berries, ensuring they stick to the sticky marshmallow mixture.
  5. Set cookies: Allow the wreath cookies to stand at room temperature until fully set and firm, which should take about 20-30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Work quickly when shaping the wreaths, as the marshmallow mixture hardens rapidly.
  • Butter your hands well to prevent sticking while shaping the wreaths.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
  • For a festive touch, you can also add red sprinkles or edible glitter alongside the M&M’s.
  • Substitute cornflakes with Rice Krispies for a slightly different texture if desired.
