You've heard of Rice Krispie treats, but it's time to broaden the horizons and experiment with Corn Flake treats. They're super easy and super yummy. And when all's said and done, they look like cute little wreath treats. Just stir up some Kellogg's Corn Flakes and some marshmallows, grab some food coloring and a kid or two for help, and viola! Your treats are complete. The salty crunch of the flakes combined with the sugary deliciousness of the marshmallows mixed with the awesome green dye is a winning combination if there ever was one. And the best part is, kids freak out over this stuff!
