Football Rice Crispy Treats
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 6 cups mini marshmallows, , divided
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 cups chocolate gluten-free crispy rice cereal , (I used One Degree Sprouted Brown Rice Cacao Crisps)
- 12 ounces chocolate or chocolate almond bark
- 2 ounces white chocolate or vanilla almond bark
Instructions
- Line a 9x13-inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with gluten-free nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. When the butter is melted, reduce the heat to low and add 5 cups of the mini marshmallows. Stir frequently until the marshmallows are melted.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and the remaining 1 cup of marshmallows. Stir to melt the marshmallows a bit (chunks of marshmallow are OK), then stir in the crispy rice cereal.
- When all the cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture, transfer to the prepared pan. Let it sit in the pan to cool for a minute or two, then use a spatula or your hands to press into the pan.
- Cool completely, then cut into footballs with a football shaped cookie cutter. Scraps can be pressed into the cookie cutter to create more footballs.
- Melt the chocolate according to package directions and line a sheet pan with wax paper. Dip a football treat halfway in the melted chocolate, then place on the wax paper, chocolate side up, to harden. Repeat for all the treats.
- Melt the white chocolate according to the package directions. Transfer the melted white chocolate to a small sandwich bag. Snip a small hole in a bottom corner of the bag and pipe the football laces and details onto the treats.
- Let the chocolate harden completely before storing in an airtight container. Treats can be stored for up to 3 days.
