These crispy, no-bake holly wreath treats are perfect for making with kids. Cornflakes mixed with green marshmallows give the wreath a texture that mimics real foliage. Attach red jelly beans to the wreaths to simulate holly berries and decorate them with white sprinkles or nonpareils for a dusting of snow. Bows for the wreaths can be made from ribbon-like gumdrops. Arrange the crispy wreaths on a platter and use them to decorate your holiday table.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the marshmallows and butter and microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring occasionally, until melted, about 1.5 minutes.
- Stir in vanilla and enough food coloring to turn the mixture dark green (10-15 drops). Stir in the cornflakes until completely coated.
- Using wet hands, form the mixture into 24 2-inch balls. Flatten them on the prepared baking sheets and poke a hole in the center of each one with your finger, forming wreaths. Decorate the wreaths with cinnamon candies to create holly berries. Tie simple bows from red candy strips and attach to the wreaths. Sprinkle lightly with nonpareils to create snow. Let the wreaths set at room temperature for about 2 hours, or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
