Easy Chocolate Rice Krispie Football Treats
This is a fun recipe to make with the kids!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 11/2 10-ounce packages marshmallows
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (optional)
- 6 cups Kellogg’s® Cocoa Krispies® cereal
- Plain (non-flavored) non-stick cooking spray
- Canned white frosting with decorating tip, or white frosting with decorating bag and tip
Directions
- In large pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add one package of marshmallows plus half of the other package and stir until completely melted.
- Remove the melted marshmallows from heat and stir in peanut butter until melted.
- Add KELLOGG’S RICE KRISPIES cereal and stir with a spatula sprayed with non-stick cooking spray 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 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. Then, pipe the lace lines over the horizontal line.
- Store in air tight container until the party.
Notes
This recipe uses a little more marshmallows than regular rice krispie treats because it helps make the rice krispie mixture a little more pliable to shape into footballs.
