3. Peanut Butter Football Dip

Ingredients

• 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.
• Serving suggestion: pretzels, animal crackers, cookies, a spoon.
