Ingredients
•
1/2 cup butter

30 large marshmallows

1 1/2 teaspoons green food coloring
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
4 cups cornflakes cereal
•
2 tablespoons cinnamon red hot candies
Directions
1
Gather ingredients.
2
Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows, and cook stirring constantly, until melted.
3
Remove from the heat, stir in food coloring and vanilla, then stir in cornflakes.
4
Set out one or two sheets of waxed paper. Fill a skillet with 1 inch of very hot water. Place the saucepan into the skillet so cookie dough stays warm.
5
Quickly drop a heaping tablespoonful of cookie dough onto the waxed paper, and use lightly greased fingers to form it into a wreath shape. Immediately decorate cookie with red hot candies. Repeat to shape and decorate remaining cookies.
6
Allow cookies to cool to room temperature before removing from waxed paper, about 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
