For the Base

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by measuring the cornflakes into a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt ¼ cup of butter over low heat, stirring gently. Once melted, add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and mix until completely melted.
  3. Carefully pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cornflakes. Gently fold to coat each cornflake evenly.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, grease your hands, scoop spoonfuls of the mixture, and shape them into wreaths about 3-4 inches in diameter.
  5. Add red cinnamon candies or your choice of decorations on top of each wreath and allow to set for about 20-30 minutes.
  6. Serve them on a decorative platter or store in an airtight container.
