Christmas Cookies - Garland Goodies
You won’t be biting off more than you can chew when you let your kids loose in the kitchen to create these edible holiday wreaths!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 4 cups Corn Flakes cereal
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Green food coloring
- Small red candies, like red hots
- Red string licorice
Preparation:
- Microwave butter and marshmallows on high for about two minutes in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir occasionally to mix marshmallows and butter and prevent clumping. When the mixture is smooth, remove from the microwave and add food coloring until you reach a green hue you enjoy.
- Add Corn Flakes cereal to mixture. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated with the green liquid.
- Divide the warm cereal mixture evenly into approximately 8-12 clumps using a 1/4 cup dry measuring cup coated with cooking spray. Using sprayed fingers, quickly shape into individual wreaths.
- Press the red candies in clusters of three around the wreath to act as berries. Don’t forget to add a ribbon (the string licorice tied into a bow) as a finishing touch!
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
