How To Make Rice Krispies Basketball Treats

These are super easy to make. I made a video for my Paint Brush Rice Krispies Treats (linked below). Different shape, but same concept!

1. Make Rice Krispies Treats – following the recipe on the box, make a batch of Rice Krispies Treats.
2. Mold Basketball Shape – while step warm, butter your hands and mold the Rice Krispies Basketball Treats into a 4″ circle. If you have a circle cookie cutter, butter it and form the cereal into it, and pushing it out quickly. Place each on wax paper so they can cool and not stick.
3. Prep Icing – place tips and connectors on two bags, spoon orange icing into #4 icing bag and black into the other. Remember to snip off edge of back before adding the metal tip. In third bag, spoon more orange icing. with no tip.
4. Ice Basketball Design, Orange – outline each circle with orange. Warm other orange bag (with no tip) in the microwave for 5-6 seconds. Snip off the edge and allow warmed icing to slowly flow onto the circle. Pull the icing to the edges with a toothpick. Allow the Rice Krispies Treats to cool for two hours.
5. Ice Basketball Design, Black – using the black icing bag, pipe basketball lines. Use my photos as a guide.
6. Set – allow the Rice Krispies Basketball Treats to cool and set for at least 4 hours before you insert them in the cello bags. (Note: I’ll often ice and let them set overnight, to make sure they’re completely dry, before packaging.)
7. Packaging – using 4″ cello bags and homemade tags, thank friends for coming to your party, or for a great season!
