Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!

Candy Christmas Wreath!

 Candy Christmas Wreath!  This is such a beautiful treat! It's fast to make and perfect for parties! It's yummy and soft!

No need to grease, since we've already added butter!  Gently press the mixture into the bundt...careful not to crunch the flakes.  Flip over...
