Grandma Brown's Holly Cookies

My dad's mom, Ann made these every year and we LOVED them. We couldn't wait to get to grandma's house to have a holly cookie. They taste similar to a Rice Krispie treat, but way better!

½ cup butter
30 large marshmallows
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 ½ tsp green food coloring
3 ½ cups corn flakes
red hots

1. Melt butter and marshmallows, stirring constantly. Add vanilla and food coloring. Mix in corn flakes. Grease a spoon and drop spoonfuls of mixture on vegetable oil sprayed wax paper. Put red hots on and press so they stick.

2. Let sit until they have hardened.
