I have had these before, but never made them myself. I didn't have red food coloring. (made them for Valentine's Day-and shaped like hearts) So I added Valentine's sprinkles. I wouldn't recommend doing this because it takes away from the original taste. I should have either left them plain or taken the time to go to the store. They would have been good, had I not messed them up by changing the recipe! Next time i will make sure to have the color I need, or leave them plain.

We made these in a VERY humid environment and they did not set. They tasted wonderful, but were very messy! :-(

My kids and I made these together and they absolutely loved it. They were easy to make, very low on the mess factor, and DELICIOUS!! If you like rice crispie treats, you'll like these even better. I do recommend wearing baggies over your hands or some kind of cooking glove. The kids and I had green fingers for a few day. LOL!!

This was the first time I ever made anything like this, never did rice crispy treats etc. Used a double boiler to melt the marshmallows and butter, which never combined. I wasn't sure what the consistency was supposed to be, so I just trusted the recipe. After adding the rest of the ingredients it all came together fine. I think I could have stirred it a bit longer to better incorporate the food coloring, but it was fine. I ended up with 8 big wreaths, I think I was too afraid of it setting up before I was done. I left out the almond and added a bit more vanilla since I was also serving another almond cookie. These looked great and I'm glad I made them.

These were a huge hit at our Christmas cookie exchange. They were the prettiest on the table & everyone loved them. I did make them as holly. Thanks for the new favorite Christmas cookie.

ive done this recipe twice today and they are still not bonding together! I even tried adding some extra marshmallows and half of the suggested food coloring. What am I doing wrong!

I have been making these since I was a kid except we used peppermint extract instead of almond. I can't imagine eating them any other way now....

I started making these a couple of years ago because I thought it would add a nice pop of color to my holiday cookie tray. Now people start asking when they are getting their cookies in the beginning of November! They are a big hit, and SO pretty and festive!
