These adorable treats are the perfect addition to any football themed party!
Super Bowl, Senior Night, Graduation Party, Awards Ceremony, you name it, these tasty bites are sure to be a kick off at your next event.
It all started because we were planning to attend a Super Bowl party and I had recently made my highly requested Monster Cookies and Chocolate Chip cookies for other events so felt the need for something different. If you know me, you know I love a good theme and I love to go all out!
I saw some great ideas online but most were on cut out cookies and I wasn’t in the mood for those and had ingredients to make Scotcheroos (as we call them). So I tried to come up with a way to create designs I had seen online on these delicious bars and here is what I came up with!
I followed the recipe in the photograph with a few exceptions.
The first exception being once mixed well, instead of putting the warm mixture into a greased 13x9 inch pan I put them on a 13x9 inch baking sheet lined with parchment paper and rolled them lightly with a rolling pin until evenly spread throughout the pan. I did this so I could easily cut them out.
I did not have a football or a circle cookie cutter so I used a Christmas lightbulb cookie cutter and the top from a small jar of peanut butter. With the Christmas lightbulb I pressed it into the bars then flipped it the opposite direction, lined it up the best I could and pressed all the way through, leaving the bulb part out of the design.

I was able to work quickly enough that the mixture was still warm so I balled it back up and rolled it out with the rolling pin then cut out what I could again. The rest I cut into little squares.
The other exception is that I halved the chocolate/butterscotch frosting. I did this because I did not plan to dump the frosting onto the bars like usual, but to individually frost them instead.
After the frosting was warm I spread it over all off the football and *circle shaped Scotcheroos.
*For the circle shapes I frosted one half then sprinkled green sprinkles for the field, then came back to them and frosted the other half and sprinkled colored sprinkles for the fans.
I warmed up one block of white almond bark chocolate, placed a frosting tip in the corner of a plastic bag, then put the warm white frosting in the bag. I used this to make the details like the football laces and field lines.
I let them dry before putting them in a plastic tote with a layer of parchment paper between them for storage and transportation.
I will be honest, they turned out way better and were way easier to make than I thought they would be!
At the party I displayed them on a glass plate with a square piece of artificial turf underneath it.
