Print Recipe

These no-bake treats are shaped like mini football helmets with a chocolate face mask, perfect for game day parties. Made with just five simple ingredients, they are a fun and easy crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter.
  3. Add the entire 10 oz bag of mini marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
  4. Pour in 6 cups crispy rice cereal and fold gently until all cereal is coated.
  5. Working quickly, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the mixture into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full and mounding slightly.
  6. Lightly grease your fingertips and gently press the mixture into each cup to form a compact dome. Let cool completely in the tin, about 15-20 minutes.
  7. Gently pop each treat out of the muffin tin and place on wax paper.
  8. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy (about 60-90 seconds total).
  9. Spoon melted chocolate into a small piping bag or zip-top bag. Snip off a tiny corner and pipe a curved line across the front of each helmet for the face mask, then add a few vertical lines for bars. Optionally, add a stripe down the center.
  10. Let treats sit at room temperature until chocolate is firm, about 30-45 minutes. For faster setting, refrigerate for 15 minutes, then bring to room temperature before serving.

Notes

Don’t over-melt the marshmallows; remove from heat as soon as smooth. Work quickly as the mixture sets fast. Grease your hands to prevent sticking. Pipe chocolate only after treats are completely cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 2 months.
