Ingredients

- 1 Tablespoon Fluffy White flavor whipped frosting
- Cooking spray
Instructions

- Stir mini marshmallows into butter, cover, and let sit for 10-15 minutes until melted, stirring occasionally.
- Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Stir cereal into melted marshmallows. Turn off slow cooker.
- Pour cereal mixture onto greased wax paper.
- Lightly spray your hands with cooking spray, and mold cereal into a rectangle, about ½-3/4 inch thick.
- Let cool.
- When cereal is completely cool, lightly spray a football-shaped cookie cutter with cooking spray. Cut out football-shaped Rice Krispie Treats, and set aside. 10. If necessary, mold remaining cereal into a flat rectangle again, and make more cutouts.
- Spoon frosting into a plastic bag. Squeeze all the frosting into one corner of the bag. Using a sharp pair of scissors, cut the corner off the bag. (A smaller cut will give you a finer frosting line.)
- Squeeze the frosting out on the footballs to make the laces.
- Serve immediately, or store in a single layer in an airtight container.
