Raise your hand if you love football, Super Bowl parties or the commercials!  Are you cheering for the Broncos, Seahawks or the snacks?

Today, I made a football stadium with Rice Krispie Treats … perfect for a Super Bowl party!  It is sure to satisfy everybody … doesn’t everybody like basic Rice Krispie Treats? They are always a favorite around here … no matter which team you are supporting!

I learned a few things while making this project and I will share them with you.

Basic Rice Krispie Treats

• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
• 1 – 16 ounce bag marshmallows
• 10 cups crisp rice cereal (Rice Krispies)

1. Spray or use butter to grease a 10″ x 15″ x 1″ pan (jelly roll) and grease a spatula too.
2. Melt butter over low heat, in a large (6 quart) pan, add marshmallows and stir until melted.
3. Remove from heat add cereal immediately and stir until cereal is completely combined.
4. Scoop into prepared pan and use spatula to pack the cereal mixture into pan.  Let cool before cutting.

Let’s get started with making the field …

Son #3 came up with this idea!

• I used a rectangular plate (11-1/2″ x 6-1/4″), lollipop sticks cut to fit and a 5 ounce bottle of green pearls to create a field.  (Hint:  Tape or glue gun the sticks in place, everything rolls around easily, you could even use double-stick tape on the entire plate under the pearls if you don’t plan on eating the pearls.)
• Cut a few small cereal squares (1-3/4″) and turn upside down (the bottom is stickier), place and press 3 chocolate chips to form a triangle (football tee).  You could use a little melted chocolate to secure the chips if necessary.
• Place the squares on the field, then place a chocolate foil wrapped football on the tee.  I placed a small square of wax paper under each square so that they didn’t stick to the pearls.  (Hint: It is best to wait to place the footballs if you are moving this tray around a lot.)

• I had some Sixlets in the correct team colors, but no blue.  I went to Party City and made a great discovery … they sell individual colors in big bags, as well as the little sleeves that you can mix and match colors!
• Cut the remaining Rice Krispie treats into bars (about 1″ x 2″), turn upside down and press 3 Sixlets (in team colors) on each bar.  I left a few bars without candy for the those neutral fans and non-chocolate lovers.

Arrange everything on a large oval platter/tray, about 14″ x 20″ … I used my turkey platter.

Are you ready for some football?  How about Rice Krispie Treats?

The little football bowl filled with more chocolate footballs, came from Party City too … only $.99!
