Cornflake Christmas Wreaths

I love these Christmas "cookies." They are sweet with that little spice from the red hots. They never last very long in my house.

Ingredients:
1 package large marshmallows
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp green food coloring
4 1/2 cups cornflakes
red hot cinnamon candies







Directions:
1. Melt marshmallows, butter, vanilla and green food coloring over low heat.
2. Mix in cereal
3. drop by spoonful (or by hand) on wax paper, decorate with red hots
4. Allow to cool completely

*I found it was easier to store them between layers of saran-wrap after they were allowed to set completely
**I generally have to add about 1/4-1/2 cups more cereal depending on how the consistency is looking. they should not be as dry as rice crispies.
