Christmas time is for family and what better time to make some Christmas candy, cookies, and my famous Christmas wreaths. Every year at this time, I have people asking me to make my Christmas wreaths. This has become a family tradition for over 25 years. Today I will give you my family recipe so you can start your own tradition.
Green Christmas Wreaths Ingredients
o 1 Package of Marshmallows ¼ Cup butter
o 1 Package Red Hots Green Food Coloring
o 6 Cups Corn Flakes Cereal
o Makes about 2 dozen wreaths
1. Take a very large glass bowl and put in ¼ cup butter and one package of marshmallows. Place the bowl in the microwave oven for about 1 minute. When marshmallows start to get big and fluffy they are melted enough and ready to be taken out.
2. Take out of microwave and stir until butter and marshmallows look creamy. Add a few drops of green food coloring. Depending on how dark of green you want, you can always add more drops for a deeper green.
3. Add your 6 cups of Corn Flakes Cereal. Stir until all cereal is cover and looks green.
4. Line a couple of cookie sheets with wax paper.
5. Make 1 to 2-inch size balls and put them on your wax paper lined trays. Take your finger and put a whole in the middle and then shape your circle to look like a wreath. Place your red hots around the wreath for color. (To make this easier you need to butter your fingers and hands every couple of wreaths. This way the wreath doesn’t stick to your fingers so bad.)
6. Let stand for 1 to 2 hours to harden. Keep on wax paper until you are ready to serve.
I hope you enjoy one of my families Christmas traditions for Suzie Homemaker.
