on the 4th day of g-free christmas ...

tomorrow a non-food related post ... hooray! every year i attempt to conquer 1 big christmas project for christmases to come. last year, i made our stockings (from our wedding runners). remember. this year, i've been working on our tree skirt and i'm pretty excited to share. time away from the kitchen! oh the anticipation.

in the meantime, another childhood favorite: cornflake wreaths. 



(by far, wade and my favorite gfree treat this holiday season! thankfully i took all but 4 to work - and my co-workers agreed. must limit the sweets in our apartment ... gah!)

ingredients:
1/3 c butter
1 package regular marshmallows or 4 c mini mallows
1 tsp green food coloring
6 cups gfree cornflakes (i used nature's path organic fruit juice sweetened corn flakes)

1 // in saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
2 // add the marshmallows and stir until melted. (hello, melted butter & marshmallows!!!)



3 // remove from heat and stir in the food coloring.
3 // add the corn flakes and stir until well coated. (an incredibly sticky task!)
4 // quickly spoon out approx 1/4 cup of cereal mix onto wax paper. w/ buttered fingers, shape each spoonful into a small wreath.

oh yum! enjoy.
