Cornflake Christmas Wreaths are a retro childhood favorite. Just a handful of ingredients needed to make them. Don’t you remember making these Cornflake Christmas Wreaths as a child? I still sometimes make them and every time I make these cookies‚ I’m reminded how much I like to eat a bowl of Cornflakes for breakfast. And lunch. And dinner. Isn’t cereal for dinner the best? Cornflake Christmas Wreaths take the cake when it comes to festive treats for the holiday cookie tray. With Christmas only 2 days away‚ you’ve probably about come to the end of your Christmas cookie making. I meant to share this recipe much earlier in the month‚ but I didn’t expect December to go by with such lightening speed. These Christmas treats are so easy to make with just 3 ingredients plus enough green food coloring to give them that perfect evergreen color. Variations I used mini red M&;Ms to decorate them with but Red Hots are probably the more traditional candy to use. Use Special K cereal in place of Cornflakes. Add a half a teaspoon of almond extract. Get All Ingredients Ready You will need to work quickly with this recipe so you can get the cookies shaped before the mixture sets up. Have all ingredients ‚measured and get a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper before beginning the recipe. Recipe Tips The Cornflake mixture is a little difficult to shape into wreath shapes. I did them free hand but I think it might be easier to use a round cookie or biscuit cutter‚ spray it well with cooking spray‚ and dump some cornflake mixture in the middle. Then you can use the end of a wooden spoon to put a hole in the middle. If you don’t want to mess with shaping them into small wreaths‚ drop them in mounds instead and place 3 Red Hots in the center. If they don’t set up firmly enough‚ stick them in the refrigerator to firm.
