Peanut Butter Football

I am almost certain that this looks so very good to be because I am in full carb jones right now.

" It's like a cheese ball, but with peanut butter and chocolate chips "

This is all over the internet, but this was the best picture, I'm not even sure where I found it.

Ingredients

¼ cup butter, softened

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup peanut butter (your choice; crunchy or smooth)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups powdered sugar (up to 2 cups if needed)

½ cup mini chocolate chips

Chocolate sprinkles or chocolate chips for the outside of the football

White chocolate or frosting for the football laces

Instructions

1. Cream butter, cream cheese, and peanut butter until mixed (using a hand-held mixer). Mix in vanilla.
2. 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.
3. 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!)
4. 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.
5. Serving suggestion: pretzels, animal crackers, cookies, a spoon.
