Ingredients
Check off as you cook.
Method
- Set a large saucepan over low heat and melt the butter, then stir in the marshmallows and keep stirring until nothing lumpy is left.
- Stir in green food coloring until the shade is as deep as you want it, then take the pan off the heat.
- Fold in the corn flakes a few cups at a time, stirring until every flake is coated.
- Butter your hands well, turn the mixture out onto a serving tray at least 12 inches across, and work quickly into a ring — it stiffens as it cools.
- Scatter the teaberry candies over the top while the surface is still tacky — they are the wreath's berries, and the whole point of this version.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm. Add a ribbon bow before it goes to the table.

The ingredients and the procedure are the ones the Republican & Herald printed on its Christmas Eve kitchen page in 2003, beside an Ashland family's holiday table; the wording of the method here is ours.
