Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
White chocolate for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
Mix in Cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well combined and coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Shape Treats: Grease your hands with butter or oil, and take a small handful of the mixture to shape into footballs. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
Coat Treats: Dip each Rice Krispie football into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place them back on the parchment paper to set.
Decorate: If desired, melt white chocolate and use it to create laces on the footballs. Allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
