Turned out okay, but should have crunched up the corn flakes a little and I would omit or use less almond extract.

I have made this Christmas wreath for years and thought I lost the recipe. So happy to find it online! I make the wreath and then put candy and cookies in the middle and place it on a decorative platter. Great to take to the office or wherever. Thank you.

Good to add the vanilla and or almond extracts as otherwise they would taste a bit bland. These are very tasty
