Ingredients
- 10 oz marshmallows 35-40 marshmallows
- 4 cups corn flakes
- 6 tablespoons butter salted
- 10 drops green food coloring
- M&Ms mini; green and red
- Sprinkles optional, green
Instructions
- Set aside a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add 2 cups of corn flakes to a large bowl. With your hands, gently crush the corn flakes into smaller pieces. Add the other 2 cups of corn flakes and gently mix them all to combine.
- Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and add the marshmallows. Stir to melt and add 10-15 drops of green food coloring and mix well to combine. Add more food coloring for a deeper green color.
- Once marshmallows are all well melted and combined, pour it all into the large bowl with the corn flakes. Mix well until all of the corn flakes are well combined.
- Spray a spoon or your hands with some cooking spray or oil and scoop out small palm-sized rounds of corn flakes and place them onto parchment paper. Add green sprinkles and green and red mini M&Ms. Repeat with all cornflakes.
- Let cool for at least 15 minutes before removing from parchment paper.
- Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days on the counter or up to 2 months in the freezer.

Notes
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days; grease the container to prevent sticking and separate layers with parchment or wax paper.
- Freeze the cookies for up to 2 months for extended storage.
- Keep the marshmallow mixture warm and sticky during shaping by placing the bowl over hot water to aid decorating, especially when working alone.
- Large or mini marshmallows both work well, and unsalted butter can be used with added salt to the marshmallows while melting.
- Use any preferred corn flake variety, including bran flakes, and red hot candies or other seasonal decorations can substitute the M&Ms and sprinkles.
