Ingredients
Scale
- For the Brownie Batter Dip:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- For serving: pretzel rods, graham crackers, strawberries
- For the Football Rice Krispie Treats:
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 10 oz package regular marshmallows
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil or shortening
- White icing or melted white chocolate for laces
Instructions
- Make the Brownie Batter Dip: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Sift in powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Add brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low, then medium-high, until fluffy and combined, 1-2 minutes.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips with a spatula. Transfer dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Make the Football Rice Krispie Treats: In a large pot, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove pot from heat. Immediately stir in crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.
- Press mixture firmly into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Let set for at least 20 minutes.
- Use a football-shaped cookie cutter to cut out treats. If no cutter, cut squares and shape ends slightly.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip the top of each football into chocolate, let excess drip off, and place on parchment.
- Pipe white icing or melted white chocolate onto each dipped treat to create football laces. Let chocolate set before serving.
- Serve the chilled dip with an array of dippers like pretzels, graham crackers, and fruit alongside the football treats.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese and butter are fully softened for a smooth dip. Press the cereal mixture firmly into the pan to prevent crumbling. Both recipes can be made a day ahead. For dairy-free or gluten-free options, use vegan/plant-based substitutes and certified gluten-free dippers and cereal.
