I made these for an office "tailgate" party and they were quite the hit! I used an oval cookie cutter to make the basic shape and pinched the ends so they would look like footballs.

We used this recipe for my sons's sport themed birthday. They were a HUGE hit and so easy to make!!

Excellent and easy recipe! Made these for the superbowl and they were a hit!!

Used this recipie and shaped them into Easter eggs. Such a yummy treat and I am looking forward to making it again!

Very easy and AWESOME recipe for Super Bowl! These were a huge hit for kids and adults! Also they come out very cute =]

Being from New Orleans, everyone I know was extremely excited about the Superbowl. Also being from N.O., we were also extremely excited about making Superbowl snacks, as down here, the food is just as important as the actual event. So as soon as I saw these, I knew that I had to make them for our party. Of course the cooking part was completely simple, as anyone who's ever made rice krispies treats knows. My ultimate advice for anyone making these: just before you settle down to shape them, take a big spoonful of the still hot cereal/marshmallow/peanut butter mix and enjoy. Really, having that hot, goopy spoonful is the ultimate reward for time well spent in the kitchen. Then, quickly throw the spoon in the sink or you'll eat the entire batch that way. The molding wasn't particularly easy and I found that I had to re-butter my hands for each individual football. If any spot wasn't buttered enough, the marshmallow would immediately stick to it and I'd have to go wash my hands and start over, which made things take too long and by the last 1/4 of the mixture, it had cooled enough to make it even more difficult to mold. The only other issue I had was that instead of regular canned frosting, the grocery-goer bought whipped canned frosting, which was nearly impossible to decorate with. Ultimately, they looked like an impressionist's version of footballs. However, they still tasted fantastic and I will definitely be making these again, though perhaps I'll skip the football shape.

A hit with the kids at the party...and some adults.

Excellent! Everyone loved them at our football party...

Super easy recipe and very tasty! The hardest part was shaping into footballs- but after frosting the laces they looked as good as they tasted!

These were a hit at my Superbowl party! Such a fun treat. I used Pam for Baking (butter) to spray on my hands and it was much easier to work with the treats and shape them. I would suggest using a thicker icing-the decorating gel they recommended was very runny didn't dry. Overall, they were tasty and fun!
