Melt together 30 large marshmallows & 1 stick margarine. Stir in green food coloring (probably 6 to 10 drops to get a darker color) & 1 tsp vanilla. Mix well.
In a large bowl measure 3 1/2 cups corn flakes. Pour marshmallow mixture over top & mix until corn flakes are coated well.
Spoon onto wax paper in the shape of a wreath.
I use a full strand of Twizzler's Pull & Peel & cut into pieces for the "holly berries". Then use several strands & shape it into a bow for the bottom of the wreath. You can also use red M&M's or Red Hots for the berries. Also for added color I use sprinkles all over the wreath.
I have also made this into "nests" for Easter. You can put in peeps & candy eggs.

Christmas Crunch
Christmas Crunch
1 24 oz. pkg. white bark coating (we use Kroger candy coating, but you can also use white chocolate)
1 box of corn chex
1 large bag of mini pretzels
1 large jar of salted dry roasted peanuts
1 package of plain M&Ms (you can use holiday varieties at any time of year
to make it holiday themed – Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc.)
You can really use any size packages you want. It depends on how much of each you want in your mix.
Just have fun!
Cover a fairly large area of your counter space with wax paper and tape down.
In a very large bowl, combine the chex, pretzels, peanuts and M&Ms. You might have to work in smaller batches if you can’t fit everything in one bowl with room to mix. Dump the peanuts and M&Ms in last so they don’t all sink to the bottom.
In a smaller bowl, melt your bark coating in the microwave in 30 second intervals and stir in between. Don’t let it go for too long at once or it will scald and you will have to toss it out and start over.
When the bark coating is melted, gently pour into the larger bowl and toss with the dry ingredients. You can adjust the amount of coating you use based on your preference. I usually stir a little bit in, toss, stir some more in, toss again, etc. to make sure everything gets a little bark coating on it so it will stick together.
Working quickly, dump the mixture out on your wax paper and spread out in a thin layer to dry. Once it’s dry, break it apart into pieces and store in an airtight container or divide into decorative cello bags to give away.
Note: If you half your mix ingredients and bark coating, it will be a little easier to work with in two batches. Otherwise you will need a really large bowl and workspace to spread out on the counter.
Enjoy!
