Christmas Corn Flake Wreath Cookies

1/3 cup butter (5 1/3 Tbsp.)  $.36
1 (10 oz.) package regular marshmallows or 4 cups mini marshmallows  $.99
1 tsp. green food coloring  $.44
6 cups corn flakes  $.67
candies

In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Stir in food coloring. Add corn flakes cereal. Stir until well coated. Using 1/4 cup dry measuring cup coat with cooking spray, and portion out the cereal mixture. Using your fingers (better if you butter your fingers so that it doesn't stick), quickly shape into individual wreaths. Decorate with mints, cinnamon candies, m&ms or anything else you'd like to put on your wreath. Let cool. Eat!

Ideas: try different candies. Try just making rice krispie treats and add the food coloring to make the wreaths (if you prefer that over corn flakes). For different holidays, make different shapes and different colored cookies.
