Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups cornflakes
1 1/2 cups graham cereal
1/4 cup salted peanuts, chopped
1/4 cup raisins, chopped
1 stick unsalted butter
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup mini marshmallows
8 to 10 drops green gel food coloring
Red and green mini M&M'S, for decorating

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the cereals in a bag and roughly crush into small pieces with a rolling pin. Pour into a large bowl, add the peanuts and raisins and toss.
  • Combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring, until the caramel darkens a shade and releases from the sides of the pan when stirred, 4 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. When the caramel stops bubbling, stir in the marshmallows and food coloring. Add to the cereal mixture and stir.
  • Working quickly, drop 1/4-cup mounds of the mixture onto the baking sheet. Let cool slightly, then press each into a wreath shape while still warm and press mini M&M'S onto each. Let stand until set, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Make sure all of your ingredients are fresh and at room temperature before you start baking.
  • Use a large mixing bowl so that you have plenty of room to stir the ingredients.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the treats tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before shaping it into wreaths.
  • Bake the wreaths in a preheated oven until they are golden brown.
  • Decorate the wreaths with your favorite holiday sprinkles or icing.

Conclusion:

No-bake Christmas wreath treats are a delicious and easy-to-make holiday treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, and gift-giving.
