Cocoa Krispie Football Treats

"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. :)"

directions

  • 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.

  1. I brought these to a Superbowl party and they were a hit! The marshmallow-rice krispie mixture was pretty sticky, so it was a little difficult to stir mixture. But buttering up my hands to form them into footballs worked great. I'd definitely make these again!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi! I am happily married with two children, 26 and 12. For nearly 10 years when this site was Recipezaar and then Food.com I hosted several different forums. I enjoyed making, creating, reviewing, and photographing recipes, but what I miss the most are the friendships I made here. I was Food Editor for the Mill Creek View Newspaper in Mill Creek, WA. for about 4 years during that time. Currently I am the office manager at a small mental health clinic. I'm not on this site much anymore, but I do continue to appreciate and respond to all reviews posted to my recipes.
