Corn Flakes Holly Things
It is not Christmas unless we have “those cornflake things,” as my brother says. I think the original name is “Holiday Wreaths” but we gave up a longgggg time ago trying to shape them into a wreath. We’ve found creating “blobs” is so much easier and they look like holly, so that’s why we call them the “holly things.” They’re just so pretty, festive, and bright. Plus, they just taste good. Really, how can you go wrong with butter, marshmallow, and cornflakes? This recipe is best made if you have some help – one person to make the “blobs” and another person to place the cinnamon candies on the blobs. Very kid friendly!
