Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Grease a 1/4 cup measuring cup and your hands with cooking spray.
Place the butter and marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring until melted.
Stir in the green food coloring and vanilla extract until smooth and evenly colored.
Fold in the cornflakes gently, ensuring they are well-coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Scoop the mixture into the greased 1/4 cup measuring cup, then turn it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape into a wreath by pressing a hole into the center with your fingers.
Decorate each wreath with red candies to resemble holly berries.
Allow the wreaths to cool completely until firm, then serve or store.
