Football Party Food
As someone who isn't competitive by nature and who doesn't play fantasy football, I look forward to football party food at our game day party all year! Yes, just for the snacks and getting together with friends! We love to play Football Bingo and I always make the World's Best Seven Layer Bean Dip. We also have started making my favorite S'mores Golden Grahams Treats into football shapes, making them as cute as they are delicious. Go check out our Appetizers page for more recipes that are perfect for game day!
S'mores Football Treats
Ingredients:
- Mini Marshmallows (10 oz. bag)
- Milk Chocolate Chips (1.5 cups or 11.5 oz bag - I prefer Ghirardelli)
- Golden Grahams Cereal (8 cups or 11.7 oz box)
- Karo Syrup
- Butter
- Vanilla
- White Decorators Icing
How to Make S'mores Football Treats
Lay parchment paper out on the countertop.
- Measure Golden Grahams into a large bowl and set aside. Add chocolate chips and marshmallows into a microwave-safe mixing bowl.
- Add butter and light corn syrup together into the same bowl with marshmallows and chocolate.
- Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until it’s all melted.
- Add vanilla. Pour melted marshmallow mixture over the golden grahams cereal and mix well.
When the s'mores mixture is incorporated, use a large spoon to measure spoonfuls onto the parchment paper.
Use your (clean) hands to shape the treats into football shapes. Repeat until you have made the whole mixture into football shapes.
Use white icing to draw laces on the top of the footballs. Serve!
Aren't they so adorable? I hope you will try our S'mores football treats out for your next game day party.

Okay - I'm rating this based on how it looks and the SHEER GENIUS of this idea! Let's face it - game day is maybe more exciting for the older people... so as I'm searching for foods for our spread - I know these will be a HIT! Especially with the little ones. But I know the moms and dads will love them too. You two are so creative! Love this.
Sarah
Thank you so much! Yes, my kids LOVE them as does everyone!
