Ingredients
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 3½ tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons corn syrup
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- green food coloring
- 4 cups corn flakes
- ½ cup RedHot candies
Instructions
- Place the mini marshmallows into a large, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring each time, until completely melted. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the butter, corn syrup, and salt and stir until combined.
- Add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until the marshmallows are all green.
- Place the cornflakes into a large mixing bowl. Spoon the marshmallow mixture over the cornflakes. Mix well until the cornflakes are completely coated with the marshmallow mixture. This may take several minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray your hands with baking spray for ease of shaping.
- Separate the cornflakes into 8 balls. Press a finger into the center of each ball to form the middle of each wreath and shape each wreath.
- Place 3 Red Hot candies onto the top of each wreath. Let set, uncovered for 2 hours to allow the marshmallow to dry before serving.
