It’s super easy to make.  Make your batter.

And cover it in chocolate sprinkles. Or cocoa powder. Or mini chocolate chips. Whatever. Just cover it in something that makes it look like a football. Or, if you don’t like football and don’t plan to watch the game, you could make this for Valentine’s Day.

It would make a perfect pair of lips.

Cream butter, cream cheese, and peanut butter until mixed (using a hand-held mixer). Mix in vanilla.

Add powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, and mix until combined. (If you want a stiffer mixture, add the extra ½ cup of powdered sugar.) Mix in chocolate chips.

Turn out mixture on a large sheet of waxed paper. Use your hands to form into a football shape. (This would also be cute as “lips” for Valentine’s Day!)

Place the waxed paper onto your serving plate. (It helps if the plate has sides…less mess!) Cover in sprinkles or chocolate chips, pressing them into the surface a little so they stick. Pipe on the laces using melted white chocolate or some leftover frosting and chill until ready to serve.

If your mixture is too soft to form into a football shape, chill it for about 15-30 minutes. (The length of chilling time depends on how soft it starts.) The freezer will speed up this step.

Could dip it with celery for a no-wheat alternative.

For sure! And to make it healthy. Celery has negative calories, right? It’ll make the peanut butter better for you.

how do you make the batter?

could u make this the night before and it still be ok ?

I just found your blog….omg…I think I will get up and go make this for college football tomorrow. You have some terrific recipes .

Oh, I hope you enjoyed it! I need to have a football party so I can make it again.

Cute, cute idea! LOVE it. Love Pinterest, and adore your spin. I’d better have plenty of eaters around when I make this, so I don’t end up eating the entire football. Because I would. Eat the entire thing.

Yes, totally. It’s addicting!

I bet he would! My husband wants me to make it again this year.
