Christmas Cornflake Wreath Cookies

This is first of my Christmas 2013 desserts and my favourite of the lot. Its the quickest and easiest one to make, is surprisingly delicious and somehow does the impossible by making a good looking green dessert...

Makes about 16 and takes about 20 minutes to make.

Ingredients:
 - 1/3 cup butter
 - 4 cups of little marshmallows
 - 6 cups of cornflakes
 - green food colouring
 - red(ish) round candy to decorate (I have a bottle of multi-coloured candies and yes, I was that anal that I went through and picked out the dark pink ones as the closest colour to red for berries... by all means, feel free not to do that! And if you think of a small and easy to find 'red' thing to use instead, please let me know!)

Method:
Step 1: Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Meanwhile, put the cornflakes in a large bowl and lay out baking paper on 3 or 4 baking trays.

Step 2: Add the marshmallows to the saucepan and keep stirring until the marshmallows have completely melted.

Step 3: Add the food colouring until you get the right colour.

Step 4: Working quickly, add the melted marshmallow mixture to the cornflakes and stir to combine.

Step 5: WARNING: This becomes tricky quickly as it is VERY STICKY!! I drafted the help of Mr Pink from here on, he decorated with the red candies, I sculpted the wreaths...

Spoon (as best you can considering how sticky it is...) clumps of the mixture onto the baking trays leaving a hole or making a hole in the middle.

Step 6: Drop the red candies randomly onto the wreaths.

Step 7: To help the cookies set, place them in the fridge for 10 min or so. Meanwhile, go pick at the leftovers in the marshmallow-y cornflake-y bowl!
