I made some significant changes, so won't rate with any stars, but loved the idea for our Superbowl party. I used "Cheyenne's Fudgy Dutch Cocoa Brownies & Fudge Icing" instead of a brownie mix. I used a tomato paste can, which my husband bent into a football shape to make two-bite-sized brownies. Thank you for posting this recipe! We will make this again.

These are pretty easy to make and look great too! I didn't have a football cookie cutter, but I did have a round metal biscuit cutter that I bent to look like a football. When I was done, I just bent it back to being round!
