When it's time for football, what are your favorite snacks?  Chocolate?  Nuts?  Something fruit-flavored?  We all have our own favorites, so we had to stock up for the big game next weekend!  We usually keep it simple with just pizza or sandwiches, but I wanted at least a few fun snacks this year. And what says football better than a football shaped snack with SNICKERS® in it?
With a bit of help from Faith, we came up with the cutest SNICKERS® Football Surprise Treats as a test run for game time.  And, since my daughter prefers the fruit flavors, I also picked up some Skittles® and Starburst® since those are her two favorites.  You have to reward your sous-chef after all and Walmart had a great selection of all of these candies.

SNICKERS® Football Surprise Treats: 

• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1 package mini-marshmallows (10 ounce bag)
• 6 cups chocolate/cocoa crispy rice cereal
• 12 SNICKERS® Bites
• White decorator icing

• Melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted and combined.
• Remove from heat and add to chocolate crispy rice cereal, mix together until cereal is coated.
• Mold 1/2 cup of cereal mixture into a ball, then press thumb down to create a depression.
• Push SNICKERS bite into the hole, then remold cereal ball around it, hiding it in the center.
• Press ends of the cereal ball into points to make a football shape.

• Pipe one long line of white icing lengthwise, then criss-cross with 3-4 shorter lines of icing to make the seams of the football.
• Let cool, set, and enjoy during the big game!
