I remember these...my mother used to make them when I was a kid. We always loved them and they add a lot of color to a cookie plate. I recommend to butter your hands when forming the wreaths and lay on a greased sheet of waxed paper until they have had a chance to set and cool. Also, they are easy to form into wreaths but you need to hurry. If they have a chance to cool they will be impossible. The best way I have found is to spoon a glob onto the waxed paper and use your fingers form a wreath by pulling from the middle out, kind of hard to explain.

My mom loved these and wants me to make them again for her friends this year. I used mini red m&ms instead of red hots, just because I'm not a particular red hot loved. They turned out so so cute, and tasted delicious.

I have had something similar to these before and was looking for that recipie- this isn't it! Taste wasn't bad, but way too gooey and very hard to form into wreaths. A waste of time!

I didn't actually make this exact recipe, but my family makes these treats every Christmas. They are WONDERFUL! They are a staple on the Holiday platters we hand out, and everyone tells us how they look forward to the annual Xmas Wreaths. They may be hard to shape, but they are blissfully good!

My kids LOVED making these. The cinnamon red hots were hard for their teeth to eat, so I will put christmas M&M's on instead. Thanks for the great idea!!

Too gooey and soggy. Did not taste well either.

I made these for Christmas for my friends, and they were okay. It was really hard to make them into wreaths. My fingers got stuck together when I was trying to form the wreath. They tasted pretty good though. I used Frosted Flakes instead of just regular corn flakes, but they ended up tasting good all the same. I probably won't make these again though because I had such a difficult time shaping the wreaths. Thanks for the recipe though.
