Touch Down! Football Shaped Fudge

Fudge is not just for the holidays! Football shaped Fudge is the football party food whether it be the regular season or the playoffs or the college football season or Super Bowl parties. Football fudge is always a welcome treat!

I profess I do love the original Fantasy Fudge recipe I grew up with for the holidays. So what a better way to combine your favorite fudge recipe with football to make cute little football shaped fudge and please your favorite football fans.

How To Make Football Fudge

Ingredients

This is a simple fudge recipe with the original ingredients for Fantasy Fudge.

Icing and I am “making” it the easy way as in store bought icing in a tube.

Cooking Spray

Parchment paper or sheets

Gallon plastic bag or disposable decorator bags

Decorator tip is optional

Football cookie cutters

Directions

1. Lay out your materials prior to beginning to make the fudge as you know how testy chocolate fudge can become if not molded from the moment it is ready.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or my new favorite parchment sheets.
3. Make the Original Fantasy Fudge recipe. Yes, the original fudge recipe with marshmallow creme!
4. Cool the fudge and transfer to lined baking sheet.
5. Smooth the fudge with a wooden spoon.
6. Lay a second sheet of parchment paper on top of the fudge. A fudge sandwich has now been created.
7. Smooth out the fudge by using your hands on to of the parchment paper or for a quicker method use a rolling pin.
8. Cut out your fudge footballs with your cookie cutter.
9. To ensure a clean cut make sure the inside of the cookie cutter is always greased with cooking spray.
10. Grease the cookie cutter after each football.
11. Let set in refrigerator for 1 hour.

How To Decorate  Football Fudge

If you have bought the ‘icing in a tube’ and have decorator tips on hand, decorate the fudge with the stripes.

The homemade version of a decorator bag is a quart size plastic bag with the end point trimmed. Fill the bag with icing and create a triangle.

The point of the bottom of the bag will be pointing down.

Cut off the end of the bag at the very end of the point. 

The icing should be a stiffer decorating icing (my favorite recipe without egg whites) used for cakes or cookies.

Another Way To Cut Out Footballs

If a football cookie cutter is not in your cookie cutter collection I have made fudge footballs from football templates made of parchment paper.

Directions

1. Cut out footballs from parchment paper.
2. Lay the footballs on the sheet of fudge.
3. Using a sharp knife cut around each football.
4. Use a spatula to remove each football.
5. Remove the fudge footballs to a lined baking sheet to decorate.

Enjoy your Football Fudge and while it does take a wee bit of effort the results are appreciated by all your football foodies.
