Football Rice Krispy Treats

I have long been a lover of Rice Krispies Treats since the 80's when we used to make them during sleepovers and everyone ate them warm right out of the pan with their own fork. This is one of our favorite recipes and it is just perfect for the big game or team parties. These football cocoa krispie treats are the perfect football desserts, football snacks, football treat bags, football treats, football treats for players and even football treats for team.

1. In a large pan, melt the butter using the lowest heat.

Tips & Tricks

• You can make different sizes of footballs. This gives different portion sizes.
• Always use fresh marshmallows. They taste better and provide a better end product.
• Only use butter, no substitutes.
• These treats are best served the first day although they last for 2-3 days in my Tupperware.
• Can be frozen but I don't recommend. They don't taste as good.
• Can be made in the microwave although times may vary.

FAQ'S

Why do use ONLY Cocoa Krispies?

Honestly, I grew up eating Kellogg's Rice Krispies and I have made a lot of Rice Kripsy Treats in my day. I have used offbrand rice cereal a few times and it never tastes the same. The only cereal I will use is the original.
