- Your hands are the best tool in your kitchen arsenal. Make use of your hands when mixing the ingredients. Dig in and get the ingredients thoroughly mixed.
- Shape your footballs with your hand or use a football candy mold.
- Dunk the peanut butter balls in the melted chocolate almond bark, then slide a fork underneath to lift out. Use a toothpick to get rid of excess chocolate before placing on parchment paper.

- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
- 2 sticks/1 cup butter, softened
- chocolate almond bark, 24 ounces
*For football stitches- white almond bark or Wilton Cookie Icing
Directions
- Mix together confectioners’ sugar, graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, and softened butter in a large bowl until well combined.

- Melt Chocolate Almond Bark according to package directions.
- Dip the peanut butter footballs into the melted chocolate one at a time and place back on paper. Let chocolate harden.
- Use Wilton Cookie icing to make lace strips. That’s my preferred method or I melt some white almond bark (according to package directions) and pour into a zip top bag. Snip off a tiny corner and pipe the laces onto the footballs.
