Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal
- 4 cups Mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tube White decorating icing
- 1 for greasing hands and tools Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare a large baking sheet or workspace by lining it with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Quickly add the Cocoa Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture and gently fold together until all the cereal is coated.
Spray your hands lightly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Scoop out a handful of the mixture and form it into a football shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture until all the football shapes are made. Place them on the prepared baking sheet to cool and set.
Once the football shapes have hardened slightly, use the white decorating icing to draw football laces and stitching on each treat.
Allow the icing to set for a few minutes before serving.
Serve and enjoy your Cocoa Krispie Football Treats!
