The original Peanut Butter Football Dip – a football shaped sweet dip filled with peanut butter and chocolate! One of the BEST Super Bowl Dips ever! Peanut butter, cream cheese, butter, and sugar mix to make a sweet cheeseball recipe that’s perfect for a party! Shape it like a football for game day!
Chances are you’re reading this because the Super Bowl is coming up, or you just really love football shaped food. What is a Peanut Butter Football? It’s like a cheeseball, but it’s peanut butter…with chocolate chips.
This is one of the best dips for super bowl! It’s a peanut butter dip made with cream cheese and perfect for dipping with pretzels. You could even make this into a Reese’s peanut butter dip super easily by swapping out the mini chocolate chips for chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. It’s super easy to make: make your batter and form it into a football, then cover it in chocolate sprinkles (or mini chocolate chips).
Then eat it, with pretzels…or cookies…or a spoon, which is my preferred method.

How to make Peanut Butter Football Dip:
- Make sure your cream cheese and butter are room temperature to avoid lumps.
- It’s best if you use a regular store peanut butter (NOT a natural one that requires stirring).
- Make this into a Reese’s Peanut Butter Dip by substituting chopped peanut butter cups for the mini chips.
- Pretzels are great dippers (salty/sweet) but so are apple slices or graham crackers or other cookies.

Ingredients
- ¼ cup (57g) butter , softened (see note)
- 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese , softened
- 1 cup (256g) peanut butter your choice; crunchy or smooth
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (170g) powdered sugar (up to 2 cups if needed)
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- Chocolate sprinkles or chocolate chips for the outside of the football
- White chocolate or frosting for the football laces
Instructions
- 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.
Recipe Notes
- I used salted butter to make this originally, so I didn’t add salt. If using unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Made this yesterday and it was delicious! We just cut little bites out and ate it without crackers or fruit. It was just like a piece of super good candy!!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks Melody!
