Cornflakes take the place of traditional rice cereal in these sweet no-bake treats from our Test Kitchen. Dressed up with green food coloring and red candies, they're a fun addition to cookie platters and dessert buffets.

SERVINGS: 8

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD: Microwave

TIME: Prep: 50 min. + standing

Ingredients:

  • 20 large marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • Green food coloring
  • 3 cups cornflakes
  • 72 miniature red M&M baking bits

Directions:

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows and butter. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 45 seconds or until butter is melted and marshmallows are puffed. Add food coloring; mix well. Stir in the cornflakes.
    Shape into 3-in. wreaths on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Immediately press M&M's in three clusters of three for berries. Let stand until set. Yield: 8 wreaths.

    Oh, these are a favorite with my girls and their friends. They are grown now, but still ask for them. To shape the wreath, I put 2 or 3 lg. spoonful globs on tin foil and with buttered fingers I poke the center and spread a little to look like a wreath. I only do 2-3 at a time because they set up fast. I always had one of the girls (with dry hands) put the red hots on as I was making the wreaths. When done, we'd cut around the tin foil, which acted like a doilie.

    I have found that whenever I work with marshmallow treats having the tub of crisco or a stick of butter nearby always seems to help. I just keep my fingers greasy and the treats don't stick to me.
