Fun Cocoa Krispies Football Treats Recipe: Score Big With This Sweet Treat by Cheryl Leahy

I love themed parties, and football get-togethers are no exception. I even created a Pinterest Board entirely dedicated to Super Bowl® recipes! One fun and festive dessert I found was Cocoa Krispies footballs. The sweet football-shaped treats are super easy to make and is a crowd-pleaser.

To make these cereal and marshmallow football treats, simply substitute Cocoa Krispies in the Rice Krispies treats recipe. The basic RKT recipe is: 

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 package (10 ounces) marshmallows or 5 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
• 6 cups Rice Krispies® cereal

To make them, in a large pot over low heat melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from the heat. Add the cereal and stir until coated. Using a buttered spatula, press into a 13x9-inch baking pan. Cool and cut into squares. But for the Cocoa Krispies football treats, you will need to shape the mixture into footballs and decorate. 

Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 20 minutes

Here's how to make it:

3. Pipe white icing onto cooled treats to create laces.
