Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until fully melted and combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring that it is fully coated with the chocolate mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a greased spoon or your hands (lightly greased), scoop some of the mixture and shape it into small football ovals. Place on the baking sheet.
Allow the football-shaped cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
While the cookies are setting, melt the white chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth.
Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off.
Pipe laces onto each chocolate football to resemble football stitching. Let the white chocolate set for about 10 minutes.
Once fully set, serve and enjoy your Chocolate Football Cereal Cookies with friends and family!
