Ingredients

• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  
  

• 3 tablespoons butter
  
  

• 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
  
  

• 8 oz chocolate candy melts (or chocolate chips)
  
  

• White chocolate (for laces) or white candy melts
  
  

Directions

1. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt butter and stir in mini marshmallows until smooth.
   
   

2. Remove from heat and mix in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
   
   

3. Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 9×13-inch pan and let cool slightly.
   
   

4. Use a football-shaped cookie cutter (gently sprayed with cooking spray) to cut out football shapes.
   
   

5. Melt the chocolate candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each football into the chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then place on parchment-lined surface to set. Chill briefly if needed.
   
   

6. Melt the white chocolate in the same manner, transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small cut corner, and pipe lace details onto each football. Let set completely before serving.
