Chocolate Football Treats

These fun-to-make, super-easy crispy chocolate rice treats are shaped like little footballs with laces drawn on with decorating gel.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 (6-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups crispy rice cereal
White decorating gel

Cooking Directions:

1. In large microwaveable bowl, heat chocolate, corn syrup and butter in microwave on HIGH for 2 1/2 minutes, stirring after 1 1/2 minutes.
2. Add vanilla and blend well; stir in cereal and mix well.
3. Shape into 18 (3-inch-long) football shapes with lightly buttered hands. Place on large sheet of wax paper on the countertop; cool completely.
4. Use decorating gel to add the "lacings" to footballs treats. Let stand until gel is firm. Wrap each treat individually in plastic wrap.

Makes about 18 football treats.
