Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
30 large marshmallows (1 10-ounce bag contains 38 to 40)
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons green food color
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups cornflakes cereal
Red-hot cinnamon candies, for decorating

Directions

In a medium saucepan, melt butter and marshmallows over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.

When melted, remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon food color and the vanilla. Add more food color, if desired. Stir in cornflakes.

Drop mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, onto waxed paper. Decorate with candies. Let stand 30 minutes, or until cool.

NOTE: You can make these a springtime treat, too. Use pastel food color and jelly beans and call them Birds' Nests!
