Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 10 ounces marshmallows standard size
- ½ teaspoon green food coloring
- 6 cups corn flakes
- 3-4 tablespoons mini red chocolate candies I used M&M’s, about 54 or more
- 2 tablespoons Red & Green Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper, then set to the side on your workspace. Place a small bowl of water next to the baking sheet. Measure out all of the ingredients and set out all equipment, as this recipe moves fast once you start.
- Place a pot over medium low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Next add the marshmallows, stirring them constantly until completely melted. Remove the pot of the marshmallow mixture from the heat. Immediately add the green food coloring and stir.
- Pour in the cornflakes and mix well to coat them completely in the marshmallow mixture.
- Place the cookie cutter or biscuit cutter on top of the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Scoop out about ⅓ cup of the mixture and place inside the cookie cutter.
- Use the cup of water to wet clean hands just a little, then form a wreath inside of the cookie cutter with the cornflakes. Press the cornflakes away from the center and towards the side of the cookie cutter.
- Gently remove the cookie cutter. Move quickly and repeat creating wreathes with all of the cornflake mixture. Wet hands lightly more as needed to keep the mixture from sticking to your hands.
- Add 3 or more, mini M&Ms to each wreath and top with sprinkles as desired.
- Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes to set, or until firm enough to be removed from the parchment paper while still holding it's shape. Then enjoy!
Notes
- You can make these cookies as large as 4 inches across and as small as 3 1/4 inches across. Using a cookie cutter or biscuit cutter that is smaller then 3 1/4 inches won't work as well as you won't have enough hole in the center. I find a biscuit cutter is a little easier to work with, as it has a slightly higher edge which makes it easier to form the cookies.
