COCOA KRISPIE FOOTBALL TREATS



Cocoa Krispie Football Treats image

Cute football themed snacks for your next football party! Since I was making mostly adult desserts for our last college ball game, I altered my Recipe #286286 to make chocolate-flavored, football Krispie treats for the kids. They were a big hit, with kids and adults! My cupcake carrier with the flat bottomed insert only held 15 treats so that's where I stopped counting. Because of that, I guessed here on the total yield. If you try this recipe please feel free to correct me, if needed. :)

60 marshmallows (or 6 cups mini)
4 drops almond extract (optional, or use vanilla)

6 ounces white frosting (I used 2 tubes decorator frosting)

Steps:

  • In large pan or dutch oven, melt 3 Tablespoons of the butter over low heat. Add marshmallows & stir until completely melted.
  • When marshmallows are melted & smooth, turn off heat & add almond extract. Stir well.
  • Remove from burner & add Cocoa Krispies. Stir till combined.
  • Spray inside of a large bowl & turn the mixture out into it. Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Lightly grease your fingers with the 1 Tablespoon of butter and then pull off about a 1/4 cup of Krispie mixture.
  • Shape into a football. An oval shape that is wide & tall in the center, getting smaller & slightly pointy at both ends. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
  • With frosting tube, pipe one long line, lengthwise, down the top of each football. Then pipe a short line at each end & fill in the center with more short lines to form the football's laces.

Time 55m

Yield 18 to 20 treats

Number Of Ingredients 8

Cooking spray
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
6 cups cocoa-flavored crispy rice cereal
About 12 vanilla- or chocolate-flavored candy chews, such as Tootsie Rolls

Steps:

  • Coat a wooden spoon and 1/3-cup dry measuring cup with cooking spray. Line a baking sheet with parchment, and coat lightly with cooking spray.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the marshmallows, honey, vanilla and a pinch of salt, and stir with the prepared wooden spoon until the marshmallows have completely melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the cereal and stir until the mixture is fully combined.
  • Use the prepared measuring cup to scoop out the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in mounds. Let them cool for a few seconds to make them easier to work with. Spray your hands with cooking spray, and firmly press and pat each mound into a football shape. Let the treats sit at room temperature to harden slightly, about 20 minutes.
  • Cut the candy chews lengthwise into quarters. Roll the pieces into thin ropes and cut into short and long lengths to make laces. Arrange the candy on top of each football, pressing in to help them adhere. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • To make the footballs look more realistic, use chocolate frosting to create laces and seams.
  • If you don't have any chocolate frosting, you can use melted chocolate chips or even Nutella.
  • Be sure to use fresh Rice Krispie cereal for the best results. Stale cereal will be more difficult to work with and won't hold its shape as well.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more cereal. If it's too dry, add a little more melted butter.
  • Be patient when shaping the footballs. It takes a little time to get them just right.
