Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 (10 oz) package marshmallows
• 1 tsp green food coloring, or as desired
• 3 cups cornflakes
• 3 cups rice puffs
• Candies, for decorating

Instructions:

• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is melted and syrupy. Remove from the heat.
• Stir in food coloring. Add additional food coloring as desired. Add the cornflakes and rice puffs; stir until well coated.
• Rub a small amount of butter between your hands to avoid sticking. Lay out a large platter and tip over the pan so all the contents come out. Quickly, shape the mixture into a large wreath. Garnish with candies (e.g., cinnamon dots, gum drops, mini marshmallows, M&Ms, sprinkles). Allow to cool completely before storing.
• Tip: For individual portions, you can make 12 mini wreaths. When storing smaller wreaths, separate layers of wreaths with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
