1

In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter, cream cheese, peanut butter and vanilla until well combined.
2

Add powdered sugar and stir to combine. Fold in chocolate chips.
3

Turn peanut butter mixture out onto a sheet of wax paper. Use your hands to shape into a football (if it's too soft to hold its shape, put it in the freezer for a few minutes to firm it up).
4

Carefully invert the football onto a serving plate. Coat with cooked and crumbled bacon, carefully pressing it into the top and sides to adhere.
5

Use white icing or frosting to pipe on laces on top of the football. Serve with granola thins or pretzels.
