Cornflake Wreath Cookies Food

CHRISTMAS CORNFLAKE WREATH COOKIES

Steps:

• Microwave marshmallows and butter on High for 2 minutes. Stir, then microwave on High for 2 minutes more. Stir. (This can be done in a double boiler if one doesn't have a microwave.)
• Add and mix quickly the coloring, extracts, then cornflakes. Drop by spoonfuls in clumps on greased wax paper and decorate with 3 red hots each.
• Once cool, transfer to lightly greased serving/storage tray with lightly greased fingers.

CORNFLAKE WREATHS

Steps:

• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring, until melted. Add the green food coloring and stir until evenly distributed. Remove from the heat, add the cornflakes and stir until well coated.
• Spray your hands with nonstick spray as needed during this step to ease in the shaping of the wreaths. Take 1/3 cup of the mixture and form an even log. Join the ends of the log together to form a wreath. Place the wreath onto one of the prepared baking sheets. Continue with the remaining cornflake mixture.
• Decorate each wreath with 3 small cinnamon candies. Let sit to firm before serving.

CORNFLAKE CHRISTMAS WREATHS

Steps:

• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Combine the marshmallows and butter in a large bowl and microwave on 50-percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted, about 1 minute 30 seconds.
• Stir in the vanilla and enough food coloring to make the mixture a deep green, 10 to 15 drops. Stir in the cornflakes until they are completely coated.
• Working with wet hands, form the mixture into twenty-four 2-inch balls. Flatten on the prepared baking sheets and poke a hole in the middle of each with your finger, molding the sides as needed to form a wreath shape. Decorate with the cinnamon candies to create holly berries. Form the red candy strips into a simple bow on each wreath. Sprinkle lightly with the white nonpareils for snow. Let set at room temperature to firm up, about 2 hours, or refrigerate 30 minutes.

CORNFLAKE WREATH COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large microwave safe bowl, melt together the marshmallows and softened butter. Melt for 1 minute, then stir and continue to melt in short intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is totally melted and combined.
• Add the green food coloring a few drops at a time until you reach the color you'd like.
• Add the cornflake cereal and mix until the cereal is totally covered in marshmallow mixture.
• Grease your fingers with butter (or spray with cooking spray). Just a warning that this is a little messy. ????
• Scoop up about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of cornflake mix and pack into a ball. Place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Use your finger to poke a hole in the center of the ball and spread it out, shaping it into a wreath.
• While the mix is still sticky, place 3 mini M&Ms together in one spot so that it looks like a bow. If for some reason the mix is no longer sticky, use a touch of frosting to stick the M&Ms on.
• Allow the mixture to set completely before serving or packing away later.
• Store in an airtight container for 2 days at room temperature or freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
