If you grew up in the ‘80s or ‘90s, chances are these green cornflake wreaths showed up at every holiday potluck, school party, and cookie swap. They’re the no-bake wonder that never goes out of style.

Melt marshmallows and butter together, stir in green food coloring, fold in crispy cornflakes, and shape them into little wreaths on foil. That’s it. Thirty minutes from start to finish.

Kids go absolutely wild for these because they get to shape them with their own hands. Add a few red candy dots for “berries” and you’ve got a cookie tray centerpiece that disappears first every time.

Kitchen Tips

  • Grease your hands lightly with butter or cooking spray before shaping to keep the mixture from sticking.
  • Work quickly while the marshmallow mixture is warm. Once it cools it gets stiff and hard to shape.
  • Drop a few red cinnamon candies or red M&Ms on top while still sticky for that classic holly berry look.
