CHRISTMAS WREATH 
6 c. plain cornflakes
1/3 c. butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 pkg. (40 lg.) marshmallows
Green food coloring
Red cinnamon candies

Line round dish with wax paper and set aside.

Melt butter in large non-stick pot. Add marshmallows and stir over medium heat until all are melted. Working quickly, remove from heat and stir in vanilla and enough food coloring to make pretty shade of green. Stir in cornflakes with wooden or teflon spoon to coat most of the cornflakes. This hardens quickly, so work quickly.

Spread butter over fingers. Spoon out large scoop of hot mix and use buttered fingers to scrape off the spoon onto wax paper. Overlap each spoonful slightly forming a wreath until all mix is used up. Wash hands and soak pot and spoons. Put candies 3 at a time in several places to resemble holly berries. Cover with waxed paper to keep from drying out.

An artificial red bow can be placed on top. The wreath is not only a nice centerpiece for your holiday table but is edible too.
