I make a double batch – some for us and an extra plate for Mark! A good project for the kids, but after the marshmallow part cools, otherwise it is like a Christmas molten lava.
½ cup margarine
30 large marshmallows
1 tsp. vanilla
Green food coloring
3 cups cornflakes cereal
Red hots – candy (available in the baking aisle)
Cut margarine into pieces and put in large saucepan with marshmallows. Melt over low heat, stirring often. Beat until smooth. Add food coloring until a medium green color. Stir in vanilla. Add cornflakes and stir well. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax or parchment paper and shape into wreaths. Add a few red hots to each to look like holly berries. Cool and store in covered container.
