Basketball Rice Krispie Treats Ingredients (and Supplies)

• 16 oz bag marshmallows
• 7 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 3 tablespoons softened butter
• Vanilla frosting
• Orange food coloring
• 2 cups light cocoa candy melts
• Decorating bags
• Large microwave safe bowl
• Small mixing bowl
• Long Spoon
• 9″ x 13” baking pan
• Butter Flavored non-stick cooking spray
• 4-5” circle cookie cutter

Directions

To make your basketball Rice Krispies treats, combine your marshmallows and butter in a large bowl. Microwave for one to two minutes and mix. Then, add in a few drops of orange food coloring.

Stir in the Rice Krispies cereal and mix until the cereal is evenly covered.

Using the non-stick cooking spray, grease a large baking pan and firmly press your cereal mixture into the pan. Let it sit for a few hours at room temperature or in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Using a circle cookie cutter, cut out basketball shaped Rice Krispie treats. Mix your can of frosting with orange food coloring until you have the desired shade of orange and place in a decorating bag.

Frost each of the basketball Rice Krispie treats.

To add the details, in a small microwave-safe bowl, heat 2 cups of light cocoa candy melts on 50% power for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Fill a decorating bag with the melted chocolate and use it to draw the lines on each of the basketball Rice Krispie Treats.
