Ingredients

Scale

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional but delicious)
1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting wafers
White icing or melted white chocolate (for “laces”)

Instructions

Melt the Base: In a large pot, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Mix In Cereal: Add Rice Krispies and fold gently until fully coated. Let cool for 2–3 minutes.
Shape the Footballs: Lightly grease your hands and shape handfuls of mixture into football ovals. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
Coat with Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time. Dip each football or spoon chocolate over the top until coated. Let excess drip off.
Add the Laces: Using a piping bag or ziplock with the tip snipped, pipe white icing or melted white chocolate to create football laces. Chill for 15–20 minutes to set.

Notes

Grease or butter your hands well to avoid sticking.
For a peanut butter twist, stir ½ cup peanut butter into the melted marshmallow mix.
Use colored candy melts to match your favorite team’s colors.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days (or refrigerate for a week).
