Football Cocoa Krispie Treats
These Football Cocoa Krispie Treats are perfect for tailgating or an afternoon watching your favorite team. They’re a fun change from the typical rice krispie treats, as they are made with Cocoa Krispies (or Cocoa Pebbles!) and then shaped into little footballs and decorated.

Cook Time30 Minutes
Ingredients
5 tablespoons butter
1 - 10-ounce package mini marshmallows
6 cups Cocoa Pebbles or Cocoa Krispies Cereal
1 jar vanilla frosting
EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Plastic sandwich bag or pastry bag with tip
Directions
- In a medium pot, melt butter over medium heat.
- Once melted, add marshmallows and stir until melted with the butter.
- Pour over cereal in a large bowl and mix until well combined.
- Let sit for 5-10 minutes. It will be much easier to shape the footballs if you let it slightly cool.
- While waiting, top baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once mixture is slightly cooled, spray hands with butter or cooking spray.
- Shape into ¼-cup sized footballs.
- Place onto prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon about ½ cup of the frosting into a sandwich baggie. Cut the corner off one end. I played around with a really small hole for a thinner line or a larger one for a thicker line and I personally liked the thin line better. It is completely up to you!
- Decorate as shown in photo.
