Ingredients

    • 3 cups sifted powdered sugar
    • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
    • 1 (12 ounce) bags milk chocolate chips
    • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Mix together powdered sugar and peanut butter.
  2. Portion mixture into approximately 36 balls (1.5 Tablespoon size).

Then roll ball on flat surface to smooth middle into more round shape leaving the ends with points creating the football shape. Arrange finished footballs in a single layer on wax paper and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

  5. Crush peanuts and set aside.
  6. Coat footballs with chocolate by rolling gently in melted milk chocolate while still over double boiler, being careful not to crush pointed ends. Place on wire rack to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  7. While chocolate is still tacky but not still wet, place bottom of football in crushed peanuts
  8. Draw line on top center of football using black gel frosting.
  9. Melt white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon butter in microwave and place in frosting bag or sandwich bag with cut corner and draw laces and end lines.
  10. Return finished footballs to refrigerator for 30 minutes.
