Granted, it doesn’t take much to satisfy a hungry 5-8 year old girls’ softball team (and all of their little fans) after a late game… but I’m pretty confident that these team-color softballs will be a hit!
Using a regular crispy rice treat recipe (I like to add a little vanilla), the trick to making fun shapes is parchment paper.
Dump the sticky mess onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Using another sheet of parchment paper (a small one just slightly larger than your hand works great), flatten it out with your hand. Work quickly; you don’t want it to set up on you quite yet.
Placing a square of parchment on the treats, press down with a cup and twist. Remove the cup, and lift your “softball” from the pan. Nothing sticks!
If you work quickly enough, you can then squish together the “scraps” to make more softballs, so that nothing goes to waste. Of course, my children were standing at rapt attention… ready for the scraps, so I made sure to leave a few.

People always think I’m crazy when I say this–but I absolutely can not make Rice Krispie Treats. I’ve tried, and all I get is a big goopy mess.
Yours are so cute, though! Great idea!
What an adorable idea! I may have to steal these for my son’s baseball themed birthday in a few weeks.
What a cute idea!!
Those krispy treats are adorable ~ what a fun idea!!
How adorable! I wish I had had this for my son’s tournament last week! I will bookmark this for summer ball.
Clever idea! Thanks for the recipe and linking up to TMTT.
Oh, I LOVE these.
Completely cute!
I’ll have to make some for my son’s team!
Thanks for sharing!
Those are fun! I bet you could make a lot of shapes out of these.
What a cute idea, and thanks for the parchment paper tip I will try that next time I make these for the kids!
Those are adorable!! Will definitely have to try that tip for no more sticky fingers.
How cute! Yumm!
These are very cool! I’m going to do these for our church picnic. The kids will love them!
What a neat idea! I’ll have to try these at our church’s youth night. Thanks!
How cute! I make my krispy treats with white corn syrup and sugar.
Thanks for sharing!

I KNEW I loved your blog for a reason! LOL. My girls (almost 16 and 12) have played softball since they were 5 years old….even moving on to be on the Allstar team and fall ball each year. I LOVE these! I think we’ll give this a whirl. Hey, any age would enjoy these!!!
Oh wow, those are too cute. My daughter loves to make rice crispy treats. She adds mini M&M’s to them and then even I can’t resist.
I’ve used my heart shaped cookie cutter to make treats for Valentine’s Day. And if you’ll reheat the “scraps” in the microwave, they are easy to reuse.
We love to make our Rice Krispies in shapes! Our favorites are stars for the 4th of July, Christmas trees for Christmas, and hearts for Valentine’s Day.
I never would have thought of doing balls for softball though! What a great idea! I’m sure they were a huge hit!
Great idea!
What a great idea. I will have to try that next year for little league or I could make some footballs this fall…
I love rice krispy treats. These look great!
