Prepare the Marshmallows

• Begin by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
• Add marshmallows and heat until melted and smooth. 
• Keep stirring the mixture to prevent it from burning.

• Add the marshmallow mixture.  
• Mix until incorporated.

Let Cool

• Put a piece of parchment paper to line a 9×9 pan.  
• Pour the krispie mixture in.
• Let cool for approximately 2-4 hours on counter.

Create Your Krispy Football Treats

• If you do not have a cookie cutter, slightly bend an empty soup can to make a football shape. 
• Once cooled, lift out the parchment paper. 
• Cut the krispies with your can or a football cookie cutter into football shapes. 
• Use a small icing tip to add frosting to the treats for the laces of the football.
