Here is my first contribution to:

These cute and tasty wreaths are super simple to make. Here’s what you’ll need:

ingredients.jpg
1 stick unsalted butter(1/2 cup), 5 cups marshmallows(if using the big ones squish them down into the measuring cup so it’s accurate), 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon green food coloring, 4 cups Cornflakes and Red Hots candies (not pictured).

Before beginning the cooking process, line a large cookie sheet with waxed paper and lightly grease the waxed paper.

Now just let them set and peel them off the waxed paper when ready to serve or plate. *Note - I forgot to buy little red hot candies. But normally these wreaths would have a few of those placed on top as Holly Berries.

Share those Christmas Treat Recipes!

Christmas for me, is the time to indulge my taste buds in home made goodness. One shopping trip a year is solely dedicated to buying products for holiday baking. I came home the other day with marshmallows, graham crackers, peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, corn syrup, brown sugar and more. I am ready to make and and stuff my face with delectable Christmas goodies, in addition to giving plenty away to the neighbors. And of course, I’m always looking for fantastic recipes to add to my yearly baking list.

This is where you come in. And at least one of you better play along so I don’t feel like a complete loser.

Welcome to the first ever Christmas Confection Collection!

I want you to share your favorite treat to make during the Christmas season. You can keep it simple with just the written version of the recipe, or you can spruce it up with pictures.
Is there a tradition behind this particular treat? Anything you want to share is welcome.

Anyone is welcome to participate even if you don’t celebrate Christmas. I thought the triple C sound was better than an H(for holiday)CC sound, cause I’m weird like that.

If you would like to spread the word grab the code for the button below and stick it in your sidebar or a blog post.

*EDIT - I can’t fix the code. For some reason it’s putting quotation marks in backward or adding double quotations. So when you copy and past the code, all you have to do is delete quotations where there are double sets and it should work. Or you can right click on the image below, save it to your computer and then upload it to your blog. Thanks
