Corn flakes coated with green-tinted marshmallow make a festive and convincing bouquet of holiday holly.
Makes about 12
1/2 cup butter
3 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp green food color
4 cups corn flakes
red hot candies
Melt butter, add marshmallows, stirring until all marshmallows are melted. Add extracts and food coloring; stir until it is a uniform green color. When mixture is smooth, add corn flakes; mix well but gently so as not to crush the cornflakes. Form into 3" mounds on sheets of waxed paper, decorate with red cinnamon candies and silver dragées. Let cool.

I would add more marshmallows or decrease the corn flakes, as mine didn't look as 'well coated' as the photo. 5 stars

These have a good taste. Mine were not as green as the picture shows. But we still enjoyed them. 4 stars

Would make this again.
The trick to making them stick is keeping the mix on the heat and keep stirring till you put them directly on the waxed paper :) 5 stars
