Ingredients

• 4-1/2  cups cornflakes
• 1  cup miniature marshmallows
• 1/3  cup chopped pecans or almonds
• 1/3  cup golden raisins
• 1/3  cup dried tart red cherries
• 1  pound vanilla-flavored candy coating, cut up
•   Purchased frosting (optional)

Directions

1. Line a large cookie sheet with foil or waxed paper; set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl combine cornflakes, marshmallows, nuts, raisins, and cherries.

3. In a heavy medium saucepan melt candy coating over low heat, stirring often. Pour melted candy coating over cereal mixture. Stir gently until well coated.

4. Drop mixture by 1/4-cup measure onto the prepared cookie sheet. Flatten mixture slightly to form circles about 2 inches wide. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, make a 3/4-inch hole in the center of each cookie, spreading the cookies to about 3 inches in diameter. When cool, decorate with frosting, if desired. Makes about 15 cookies.

Make-Ahead Tip: Place wreaths in an airtight container with waxed paper between layers. Seal and store at room temperature up to 3 days.
