Yes, I know what you were doing!. With the cinnamon candies on to look like wreaths, right!? Well, they will be gooey-that's just they way they are!. I tried making a big wreath once and I had to put a lot of butter on my hands when making it!. You could have colored the marshmallows green after melting them and used rice krispies and put them in a round or oval jello mold and when it was cooled, tip over upside down (hey, I might try that!)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Because marshmallows have gelatin in them!.
Gelatin is created by boiling of connective tissue such as skin, cartilage, and bones obtained from the animal processing industry- YUMMY!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Corn Flakes don't have enough air in them to use in Marshmallow treats!. They should be good but just chewy no way to fix now!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
