My favorite Christmas Cookies to make this time of year are the no-bake Christmas wreath cookies. Both kids and Adults adore these delicious cornflake cookies during the holiday season. If these easy-to-make Wreath Cookies that you don’t even have to turn on the oven for don’t put you in the holiday spirit, then I don’t know what will. The Kids I nannied for went CRAZY for these cookies every December.
Just beware that the marshmallows make them extremely sticky. So, it might be a little tricky to make them into wreathes, but it is manageable to just take the time to create them into a wreath shape. Just make sure to add the red candies right away just so that they will stick to the stickiness before the wreathes harden.
You will only need a handful of ingredients for these Yumminess Cornflake Wreathes – Butter, Marshmallows, Cornflakes, Green Food Color, Vanilla, and Red Candies. I normally use red hot candies, but you can use the mini red m&m’s if you'd rather.
These Wreathes are fun to make with little kiddos. If you have kiddos make sure to include them in the fun, let them sort the mini m&m’s, let them help stir the marshmallows and even let them try to make their own type of wreaths, let them get creative. They don’t have to look perfect. Make it a Family affair. They are more fun to eat.
