Football Shaped Rice Krispies Treats

We’ve had so much fun sharing our football desserts with you. So far, we’ve shared football cupcakes, football field brownies (too cute), and a football field Rice Krispies treat. Now, we’re heading to the end zone with these fun football-shaped Rice Krispies treats made with cocoa cereal.

Using the cocoa Rice Krispies treats makes this dessert come together quickly, but feel free to add cocoa to your regular Rice Krispies if that’s all you have on hand.

Tips for Making These Rice Krispies Treats 

If you’re getting the kids into the kitchen to help make this fun Super Bowl dessert, you might have to work the football cookie cutter. It takes a bit of pressure to really get through the cereal mix.

When you have really small ones “helping” you, give them a cooled chunk of marshmallow Krispies and let them form it in their hands. It might not look like a football, but it will be a few minutes of sensory fun!
