Servings6 wreaths
Ingredients
- 1 and ½ cups cornflakes
- 1 cup marshmallows loosely packed
- 2 tablespoon butter
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence
- few drops green food color
- few red candies I used M and M
Instructions
- Measure your ingredients and get ready. In a sauce pan – add butter.
- Melt it, now add marshmallows, add vanilla essence.
- Then add green food color, keep cooking in low flame.
- The marshmallows will start melting. When it is fully melted without any lumps, should be a gooey liquid this is the right stage.
- Add cornflakes give a quick mix so that it evenly coats it. Switch off.
- Allow it to cool for 2mins.
- Scoop out using a ice cream scooper. In a tray lay butter paper, add a scoop.
- Dip your fingers in water, use your fingers to form wreath shape by making a hole in the center. It may stick so dip your fingers in water once then shape. Do not use more water then the cornflakes will become soggy.
- Make small wreaths.
- Then take your candies and just press it to each wreath, it will stick to it.
- Chill it for an hour and enjoy Christmas Cornflake Wreaths!
Notes
- Melting stage – I make sure to melt marshmallows fully until smooth because lumps will make shaping little difficult and wreaths won’t looks neat.
- Shaping time – I usually shape them when mixture is still warm because once it cools down it become tight and sticks a lot.
- Water – Try not to use too much water on your fingers, just dip once lightly so mixture doesn’t turn soggy.
- Color – I add green color slowly and mix because it becomes too bright very easily, adjusting little by little works better.
- Candy pressing – I make sure candies are added when mixture is still soft so they stick properly and stays in place after chilling.
