Step 1: In a large pot, melt the butter.

Once melted, add the marshmallows.

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until marshmallows are melted.

Add a generous amount (1-2 tsp.) of green gel coloring, and stir until fully incorporated into the melted marshmallow mixture.

Step 2: Remove from the heat and add the corn flakes. Stir to coat all of the cereal.

Step 3: To assemble the wreaths, add a piece of parchment or wax to a making sheet or sturdy cutting board.

Take about 1/3 cup of the mixture for each wreath.

Step 4: Spray your hands with nonstick spray, and form the 1/3 cup mixture into a tube shape.

Step 5: Connect the two ends to form your wreath, pressing them together, and shaping the cereal until you get your desired wreath shape.

Step 6: Decorate with the red hots.

Repeat for the remaining of the mixture.

Important Recipe Notes

Work quickly: The marshmallow mixture can start to firm up as it cools, so shape the wreaths while the mixture is still warm and easy to handle.
Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray to keep the sticky cereal mixture from clinging to your fingers while shaping the wreaths.
Use gel food coloring: Green gel food coloring gives the wreaths a bright color without adding too much liquid to the marshmallow mixture.
Line a baking sheet or sturdy cutting board with parchment or wax paper before you start shaping the wreaths.
Use about 1/3 cup of the mixture for each wreath. You can make them smaller or larger depending on your preference.
Add the red candies right away: Press the red hot candies onto each wreath while the mixture is still sticky so they stay in place.
Allow the wreaths to cool and firm up completely before serving or storing them.
