My childhood dreams came true as this recipe has been perfected. Memories are often lead by taste, the taste of these wreaths brought back memories with my sisters on Christmas. We have been trying every year to find a recipe that tastes just like the good old days, well here it is!
These marshmallow wreaths are so easy and my son Mikie loved making them with me. He added the red hots as soon as I made the wreaths so they stuck. I made my marshmallow wreaths about two inches across which seemed to be the perfect size. If you are looking for a new tradition for Christmas, this one is perfect. The whole family can help.

Instructions
- On medium temp, heat butter, marshmallows vanilla and almond together until melted. Remove from heat. Quickly add food coloring and keep stirring. Add in corn flakes.

I used plastic gloves so they weren't sticking to my hands.
