Description

Directions

• Prepare your decorating station: Lay out a large piece of wax paper and prep some extra pats of softened butter to spread on your hands. Make sure the red cinnamon candies are out and ready to go.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
• Add marshmallows and stir until coated in butter. Melt over low heat, stirring occasionally.
• Once marshmallows are completely melted, add green food coloring. Start with 7-8 drops and add more until it’s the right color. Stir well.
• Turn off heat and carefully stir in Rice Krispies cereal until it’s completely coated.
• Grease hands with extra butter and grab handfuls of the Rice Krispies mixture (be careful not to burn yourself if it’s hot). Roll into balls - about the size of a baseball - and use your finger to make a hole in the center. Flatten the ball into a wreath shape and set on a piece of wax paper. Top with 4-5 red cinnamon candies.
• Repeat with remaining Rice Krispies mixture until all the wreaths are formed and decorated.
• Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Rice Krispies wreaths will keep at room temperature for up to 5 days.
