Ha! You totally thought I was going to let the Super Bowl pass by without another football-shaped recipe – didn’t you? Not so fast! These little patties have been floating around in my head since October and I finally figured out how to make them come to life…

And then I made a video to show how EASY they really are! Check it out!

So here’s the deal, I knew that I wanted brown for these patties because, duh, footballs are brown. I was working on the exact combination of food coloring that would give me the best color and I was so fed up with all of it that I needed a timeout.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

Sweet and easy Chocolate Football Patties are the PERFECT addition to your game day celebration! Delicious and fun - this game day treat will always be a top pick!

A few weeks ago it occurred to me (notice that I’ve never claimed I’m crazy smart or anything, right?) that duh! cocoa powder would not only make the patties brown, but would also make them a delicious chocolate flavor as well! Bingo!

Here’s the cool part: you can add any extract flavor here that you want. Vanilla. Cherry. Mint. Coconut. Whatevs. It’s all AWESOME.

So let’s talk about how easy these bad boys are to make…here are your ingredients, plus you’ll need some white chocolate chips or candy coating to make the laces. Boom!

After the corn syrup and butter are mixed together, stir in your extract, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. You will need to get your hands in there. The dough ends up nice and stiff.

Pinch off a piece of dough and roll it in the palms of your hands until nice and smooth.

You don’t want any major cracks because your football will look cracked. Form the ball into a log shape. I found that the footballs were much easier to shape if I started like this.

Roll the log in sugar and flatten. Note that you can make these patties whatever size your heart desires. It doesn’t really matter.

This is what it will look like once you’ve flattened it. Simply pinch the ends to make a more official football shape. Easy!

Let the patties set until the exteriors become firm. Now it’s time for the laces! Melt the candy coating or white chocolate chips according to the package and place in a ziploc bag. Snip off one corner and pipe on the laces. Let set and you’re good to go!

Not only are these candies perfect for game day and especially the Super Bowl, but they’d also be great for a sports-themed party as well! Super easy and absolutely delicious! Enjoy!
