1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter and marshmallows over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.
2. When melted, remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon food color and the vanilla. Add more food color, if desired. Stir in cornflakes.
3. Drop mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, onto waxed paper. Decorate with candies. Let stand 30 minutes, or until cool.
