CHRISTMAS WREATHS
These Christmas wreaths are made using corn flakes and cinnamon candies. They're fun to make and eat. If the mixture is cooling too quickly, set the pan in a skillet with one inch of very hot water to keep the dough manageable.

Steps:
- Combine all filling ingredients in a bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to use. For dough, combine warm milk, sugar, salt and yeast in a bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, shortening and 3 cups flour; mix until smooth. Add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Punch dough down; divide in half. Roll each half into an 18x9-in. rectangle. Spread each with half of the filling. Starting at the long end, roll up tightly and seal edges. Place on a greased baking sheet, sealing ends together and forming ring. With a scissors, cut two-thirds of the way through the ring at 1-in. intervals. Carefully turn each section onto its side. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, 30-45 minutes. Bake at 350° for 25-20 minutes or until golden. Cool for 20 minutes. Beat confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Remove wreaths to platter; drizzle with icing while warm. Decorate with candied cherries if desired.

Steps:
- Spray a medium saucepan with nonstick vegetable shortening or lightly grease it.
- Melt the butter over low heat.
- Add the marshmallows and melt them over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth (about 6 minutes). Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the food coloring and vanilla extract until well blended. Stir in the cornflakes to coat them well. Keep the mixture warm by placing the saucepan in a large pot or skillet filled with 1 inch of very hot tap water. Replace the water as it cools.
- Working quickly so the mixture does not harden, use the 2 spoons, or lightly greased fingers, to drop small (1 heaping tablespoon) mounds of the cornflake mixture onto the wax paper. With lightly greased fingers, quickly form cornflake mounds into wreaths with holes in the centers. Immediately, while the wreaths are still sticky, decorate the wreaths with red-hots.
- When wreaths dry, they may be strung with nylon string or gold ribbons as tree ornaments.
Tips for Making Edible Christmas Wreaths:
- Choose the Right Bread: Opt for a sturdy bread that can hold its shape, such as sourdough, French bread, or a bread roll. This will prevent the wreath from becoming too soggy or falling apart.
- Use Fresh, Vibrant Greens: Rosemary, thyme, and sage are all excellent choices for adding color and flavor to your wreath. Be sure to use fresh herbs for the best results.
- Secure the Wreath Properly: Use toothpicks or skewers to secure the herbs to the bread wreath. This will help keep them in place and prevent them from falling off.
- Add Festive Decorations: Top your wreath with edible decorations such as cranberries, pomegranate seeds, or rosemary sprigs. This will give it a festive and Christmassy look.
- Drizzle with Olive Oil or Butter: Before baking, brush the wreath with olive oil or melted butter. This will help it brown beautifully in the oven.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: Follow the recipe's instructions carefully for the correct baking temperature and time. This will ensure that the wreath cooks evenly without burning.
- Serve Warm or at Room Temperature: Edible Christmas wreaths are best served warm or at room temperature. This allows the flavors to blend and the bread to soften slightly.
