What’s Cookin with Nicole: Coco Krispie Footballs!

Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter
1 (10-ounce) bag miniature marshmallows – I used a bag and a half b/c more marshmallows the better.
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
5 to 6 cups chocolate puffed rice cereal – I used Coco Pebbles.
Cooking spray, for your hands
White store-bought frosting, for decorating
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring, until melted about 3 minutes. Stir in the cocoa powder. Add the cereal, folding until evenly coated. I just used the microwave.
2. Remove the pot from the heat; let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, generously spray your hands with cooking spray and shape the cereal mixture into footballs. Transfer to a wax paper–lined surface to set, about 5 minutes.
I should have let them cool more before I put the icing on, but oh well. Ha!
3. Put a scoop of frosting in a small resealable plastic bag; snip a very small piece from the corner and pipe the laces onto the football.
