Cocoa Krispie Football Treats

---

Cute football themed snacks for your next football party! since i was making mostly adult desserts for our last college ball game, i altered my recipe #286286 to make chocolate-flavored, football krispie treats for the kids. They were a big hit, with kids and adults! my cupcake carrier with the flat bottomed insert only held 15 treats so that's where i stopped counting. because of that, i guessed here on the total yield. if you try this recipe please feel free to correct me, if needed. :)
