Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup White chocolate chips
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and forms a thick dough-like consistency.
Roll the peanut butter mixture into small oval-shaped balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches long, to resemble the shape of footballs. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze the peanut butter footballs for 15-20 minutes, or until firm.
While the footballs are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Using a fork, dip each chilled peanut butter football into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated footballs back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth.
Transfer the melted white chocolate to a small piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off. Pipe laces onto the chocolate-coated footballs to complete the design.
Allow the Chocolatey Football Bites to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
