A great idea for a craft class with kids, this vibrant holiday popcorn dessert requires no stovetop or oven preparation. Be sure to let the marshmallow-popcorn mixture cool before adding the M&Ms to ensure the candies retain their shape and don't melt.

• 1 package (350 g) marshmallows
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 14 drops green food coloring (fat-soluble food coloring)

Preparation:

Step 1
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the popcorn in a bowl large enough to mix with the melted marshmallows.
Step 2
• Combine the marshmallows and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals at 50% power until the marshmallows are puffed and melted inside, about 1 minute. Add the vanilla and food coloring and stir until the mixture is bright green.
Step 3
• Pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and stir with a spatula. Spray your hands well with cooking spray. Mix with your hands. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with half of the red candies and stir. Add the remaining candies and stir.
Step 4
• Divide the mixture into 12 portions (about 1 cup each). Roll into balls, then flatten slightly and make an indentation in the center with your thumb to resemble a wreath. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
• To make the bows, cut 12 thin strips (about 0.3 cm thick) of red pastille and twist them into bows. Attach one to the bottom of each wreath.
