3 tbsp. butter
3 c. miniature marshmallows
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. green food coloring
4 c. Cheerios or Rice Krispies or Corn flakes

Place butter and marshmallows in a saucepan over low heat stirring until melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and food coloring. Fold in cereal until evenly coated. Quickly shape warm mixture on wax paper with buttered hands. Use about 1/2 cup mixture per tree or wreath, less for holly. Gumdrops, red hots, raisins or chocolate chips can be used for decoration.
