A fun chocolate sheet cake decorated to look like a football field with the two teams represented by candy Kisses and peanut butter cups.

Hershey's Gridiron Cake

Green, red and yellow food color
1 (16-ounce) can creamy vanilla ready-to-spread frosting - divided use
1 tablespoon HERSHEY'S Cocoa
1 2/3 cups HERSHEY'S Premier White Chips
1 (8-ounce) package REESE'S PIECES Candy
11 HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Milk Chocolates
11 REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures
3 HERSHEY'S HUGS Brand Chocolates
6 ROLO Caramels in Milk Chocolate
2 TWIZZLERS Strawberry Twists
GRIDIRON CAKE (recipe follows)
  1. Prepare GRIDIRON CAKE. For chocolate frosting, stir cocoa into 1/3 cup frosting; stir until smooth. Tint 1/3 cup frosting orange with 1 drop red food color and 2 drops yellow food color; stir until blended. Tint remaining frosting green with 2 or 3 drops green food color; stir until blended.
  2. Mark "end zones", 2 inches wide at each end of cake, using wooden pick; frost one end zone with chocolate frosting and the other end zone with orange frosting. Frost the area between end zones with green frosting; mark 5 yard lines with wooden pick. Place white chips all across cake on yard lines.
  3. Use white chips to spell out "HERSHEY'S" on chocolate end zone; use brown REESE'S PIECES on the goal line. Use yellow REESE'S PIECES to spell out "REESE'S" on orange end zone. Use orange REESE'S PIECES on the goal line.
  4. Remove wrappers from chocolates and peanut butter cups. Arrange teams on cake playing field, using HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Milk Chocolates as one team and peanut butter cups as second team. Place HERSHEY'S HUGS Brand Chocolates as referee officials on the field.
  5. Unwrap ROLOs; for goal posts, stack 3 ROLOs in the middle of each goal line on each side of field. Shape strawberry twists into "U" shapes for goal posts. "Glue" with frosting to top of each stack of ROLOs.
