Health and fertility benefits of Marshmallow Christmas Wreaths

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter
30 large marshmallows (about 3 cups)
1 Tablespoon green food coloring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups cornflakes
Cinnamon red-hot candies
Cooking Spray

Instructions

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth.
Add the green food coloring and the vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
Add the cornflakes and stir the mixture constantly until the cornflakes are evenly coated.
Place a large piece of parchment paper on the counter and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
Remove the saucepan from the stove and quickly form the cornflake mixture into wreaths by making a small hole in each mound of the cornflake mixture.
While the cornflakes are still warm, place the red-hot candies atop the wreaths for garnish.
