- 1 Box Cocoa Rice Krispie Cereal
- 1 16oz bag Mini Marshmallows
- 1 cube Butter
- 2 t. Vanilla
- 1 bag Coconut
- Green Food coloring
- Small tube of white icing
In a large pot, melt butter over low heat. Remove from stove once melted.
Add vanilla and bag of marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir until marshmallows are completely melted.
Add in 1 box of Cocoa Rice Krispies and stir until combined.
For this step you can "freehand" your football shape or use the Football Tray as a mold, it works perfectly. Lightly spray your spatula with non-stick cooking spray and gently press the mixture into the football tray. Set aside and let cool.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 bag coconut and green food coloring. The number of drops will depend on how dark you want your "grass". For this particular color, it required 25 drops.
To finish, remove your Rice Krispie Football from the football tray, and place on a baking sheet. At this point you can push the ends of the football onto the main body. Using a small tube of white icing, draw on some football laces. For the "grass", sprinkle the coconut all around the outside of the football.
This treat adds such a fun touch to your football themed party! You can check out my Football Tailgate Party for some great ideas or get some great appetizer recipes like my Roasted Rosemary Cashews and Buffalo Cauliflower Bites. Serve it all on football plates and napkins and you're party ready!
