Cornflake Wreaths

Cornflake Wreaths are a classic Holiday treat. They are festive looking and are so easy to make! They are also a very easy recipe to adapt for those of us eating with food allergies.

The recipe usually calls for butter or margarine but can be easily made with canola oil instead making it a recipe that also doesn't require a trip to the specialty food store. Now, that can put anyone into the holiday spirit!

Ingredients:
1/4 c. canola oil
1-10 oz. package "safe" marshmallows
1 tsp. green food coloring
6 cups Corn Flakes cereal
Red cinnamon candies (Cake Mate brand is gluten free)
Wax paper

Directions:
1) In a large, microwave safe bowl, mix together the oil and marshmallows. Microwave on high for about two minutes or just until the marshmallows begin to puff up. Remove from the microwave and stir until mixture is smooth (you may have to microwave a bit longer after stirring). Stir in the food coloring. Add the corn flakes and stir until they are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

2) With a measuring cup coated with cooking spray or oil, measure out 1/4 cup of the cornflake mixture. Drop it onto the wax paper and shape into a wreath. To prevent the mixture sticking to your hands, moisten them with water. Repeat until all of the corn flake mixture is gone. Decorate with red cinnamon candies. Allow them to set for about an hour. Makes 16 wreaths.
