For Decorating the #15 design
- Melt white almond bark in the microwave in 30 seconds increments, stirring in between.
- Dip the top half of the rice krispie treat into the white almond bark.
- Once it has dried completely, use the red icing to write "15" or "KC".
- Place chocolate frosting into a ziploc bag and clip a SMALL portion of the corner off.
- Squeeze it onto the top of the rice krispie treat to represent the "hair".
For Decorating the football design
- Using an oval cookie cutter, cut out the football shape.
- Place white almond bark into a ziploc bag, clip the corner and draw on the football laces design.

Another optional design is simply drizzling white almond bark over a rice krispie square and using red, white, and gold sprinkles to decorate.
