There may be no sweeter way to kick off game day. These adorable football-shaped chocolate bites are almost too cute to eat. Almost. They'll be gone before the first points are scored, of course.

They were a hit with the kids, but I think the recipe should say to crush the cereal before adding the chocolate mixture for easier shaping of the footballs. They were pretty lumpy looking so crushing the cereal might make them appear smooth.
