Rice Krispie Treats - Mini Footballs

We were invited to the neighbor's house to watch the Super Bowl.  I wanted to bring something fun for the kids (and adults) to enjoy.  I found these rice krispie treats on Pinterest and fell in love with them!  They are so easy to make and were a hit for the party!

Ingredients:6 cups Cocoa Krispies Cereal 1 bag of Mini Marshmallows1/2 cup Margarine1 tsp Vanilla ExtractCookie Icing*

Directions:

1. Melt the margarine in a large pot over medium heat. When melted, add the marshmallows and continue to heat until they are completely melted as well.

2. Add the vanilla extract the remove from heat. Next, stir in the Cocoa Krispies Cereal.

3. Allow the cereal mixture to cool for a few minutes, then begin scooping medium sized spoonfuls onto wax paper.

4. Coat your hands with non-stick cooking spray, then begin molding the cereal into football shapes. (I taught our boys to make a round shape then pull the ends to a point with your thumb and pointer finger.)

5. Allow the footballs to completely cool. Then go back and draw the football seams with the cookie icing. (*Feel free to use your favorite cookie icing recipe, however I found the Betty Crocker Cookie Icing to work perfect for this!)
