Cornflake Wreaths are a classic Christmas treat that can be found on every Christmas cookie table! Cornflakes and melted marshmallows are dyed with green food coloring, and holly candies finish off this cute treat.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large saucepan or dutch oven, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon almond extract, and 1 teaspoon green food coloring. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and add 4 cups of mini marshmallows. Continue to melt the butter and marshmallow mixture on low heat. Stir gently until all the marshmallows melt. Remove from heat. Do not allow the mixture to burn.
Next, slowly fold 4 cups of corn flakes cereal into the mixture, taking care not to crush them. Be sure to coat all of the cornflakes.
Create a heap of corn flakes on the parchment paper using a large cookie scoop. Use your fingers to press out the center so that it is open. Round out the edges so that they look like a wreath. Add red cinnamon candies around the wreath. Finally, add your favorite holly leaf sprinkles.
Allow the corn flake wreaths to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Remove from the parchment paper.
