Make-Ahead and Storage
You can make these football treats a few days in advance
Storing: Store in an airtight container at room temperature
Tips and Tricks:
- use fresh marshmallows – I know this from experience. If you use old marshmallows that are not soft then your treats will be hard and unworkable
- form your big sheet of rice treats in a large baking dish using parchment paper as a liner for a non-stick liner
- add cooking spray to the parchment paper for another non-stick step
- spray cooking spray on your spreading utensil so it doesn’t stick to the treats
