A delightful twist on the classic holiday treat, these holly clusters are fun to make and delicious to eat.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
Stir constantly to prevent the butter from burning.
Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir until fully melted and smooth.
Keep the heat low to avoid scorching the marshmallows.
Mix in the green food coloring until the desired shade is achieved.
Add a little at a time to control the intensity of the color.
Fold in the cornflakes gently until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Be gentle to avoid crushing the cornflakes too much.
Spoon portions of the mixture onto wax paper and shape into clusters using buttered fingers.
Work quickly while the mixture is warm for easier shaping.
Decorate each cluster with a few red cinnamon candies to resemble holly berries.
Press the candies gently to ensure they stick to the clusters.
Allow the clusters to cool and set completely before serving.
Let them sit at room temperature for best results.
