Football Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats
These rice krispie footballs are a fun Charlie Brown movie party snack or fun for your own football party foods!
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 2 10-ounce packages small marshmallows (You will use 1 full package and 1/2 of the other package)
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter optional
- 6 cups Kellogg’s® Cocoa Krispies® cereal
- cooking spray plain or butter
- white icing with small decorating tip
Instructions
- In large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add 1 complete bag of marshmallows and 1/2 of the other bag. Stir until completely melted.
- Remove the pot with melted marshmallows from heat. Stir in peanut butter until melted. (optional)
- Add Kellogg’s® Cocoa Krispies® cereal to the mixture in the pot. Spray a spatula with non-stick cooking spray and stir until all of the cereal is well coated. Cool slightly.
- Spray hands with non-stick cooking spray. Grab a small handful of the rice krispie mixture and roll between your hands, fashioning into a football shape about 3-4 inches in size. Place “footballs” onto wax paper to cool. Repeat making footballs until the mixture is gone. Let footballs cool completely.
- Decorate the footballs by piping white lines around each end of the football. Then, make the “laces” by piping a line down the middle, from one end of the football to the other. Lastly, pipe the lace lines over the horizontal line.
- Store for up to two days in an airtight container or freeze for up to 6 weeks.
Notes
If allergies are a concern, leave out peanut butter.
This recipes uses more marshmallows than the traditional recipe in order to make the treats more pliable and easier to shape into footballs.
