Peanut Butter Football Dip Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER FOOTBALL DIP

Steps:

• 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.

FOOTBALL CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER DIP

Steps:

• Using a handheld mixer and a large bowl or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the cream cheese and peanut butter on medium speed until fully combined and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Lower the mixer speed and add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Continue to mix until fully combined, another 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in 3 tablespoons of the mini chocolate chips. Cover the mixture and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
• Transfer the mixture to the center of a serving plate, cover loosely with plastic wrap and press down gently to adhere it to the plate. Using your hands, mold the dip into the shape of a football. If the dip gets too soft, put back in the fridge to chill for 10 minutes.
• To decorate, mix together the chocolate sprinkles and remaining mini chocolate chips; set aside. Use the white chocolate chips to create the stitching of the football, gently pressing so the chips adhere to the dip. Use the chocolate chip and sprinkle mixture to cover the rest of the dip, pressing gently to adhere and tilting the plate to fully cover the sides and ends of the football.
• Serve with an assortment of dippers, such as waffle cone chips, pretzels, vanilla wafer cookies and strawberries.
