Don’t you remember making these Cornflake Christmas Wreaths as a child? I still sometimes make them and every time I make these cookies, I’m reminded how much I like to eat a bowl of Cornflakes for breakfast. And lunch. And dinner. Isn’t cereal for dinner the best?
Cornflake Christmas Wreaths take the cake when it comes to festive treats for the holiday cookie tray. With Christmas only 2 days away, you’ve probably about come to the end of your Christmas cookie making. I meant to share this recipe much earlier in the month, but I didn’t expect December to go by with such lightening speed.
These Christmas treats are so easy to make with just 3 ingredients plus enough green food coloring to give them that perfect evergreen color.
