Delish.com just served up one of our favorite easy recipes to make during the busy holiday season. Crispy Cornflake Wreaths aren’t just cute to look at, but are also extremely tasty. These wreaths are pretty much a rice crispy treat but instead of Rice Krispies cereal, they use corn flakes. Warning, you might have a green mouth from the food coloring, but we promise this treat is totally worth the discoloration. This recipe suggests small M&M’s or sprinkles to add the holly on the wreath, but if you’re feeling adventurous, try Red Hots to add an extra kick. For the full recipe, visit the site here.
