J and his grandma made these cute no-bake Holly Cookies for Christmas. They turned out really cute and created minimal mess (my favorite, especially during the busyness of Christmas).
INGREDIENTS
- 30 Large Marshmallows
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 stick of butter
- 4-4.5 cup cornflakes
- 2.5 tsp green food coloring
- 1 package of Red Hots
WHAT YOU DO:
- Melt marshmallows, vanilla and butter in bowl together in the microwave (or in double broiler).
- Stir in food coloring and then add cornflakes, covering all with the green marshmallow mixture.
- Scoop individual servings on wax paper.
- Add 3 red hots to each scoop.
- Let them set before serving.
Oh my goodness!! Over 20 years I had these at my sister’s Christmas party when I was little and LOVED them. I remembered her telling me they had cornflakes in them and just how they looked, but I never knew how to make them. She passed away a few years later at an early age on December 26th. I cannot wait to make these this Christmas and tell my children about the first time I had them. Thank you!!
Wow. Thanks for sharing your special memories of your sister. It sounds like such a perfect tradition to incorporate in your future Christmases! What a great way to remember your sister and teach your own children to do the same.
