Cornflake Christmas Wreaths....with Grandma

With my husband at the Bears Packers game today, I was left at home with the boys trying to decide what we should do.   I was happy when Grandma called to say she wanted to stop over and "bake" some cookies with my oldest son.   She arrived with all supplies in hand to make some Cornflake Christmas Wreaths:

The recipe is extremely simple, delicious, and fun for a little three year old to make and decorate!

First, melt butter in a saucepan and then add the marshmallows (and yes we were stilling wearing our mismatched PJs at the time):

Next, stir in the package of marshmallow's until melted and add the green food coloring:

Then add the cornflakes and stir until coated:

Finally, spoon the mixture into a measuring cup to mold into a circle.  Press in the center with your thumb, and then add red cinnamon candies to decorate:

Last but not least, enjoy!
