Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cheeseball
We are in football season (my husbands favorite time of the year) and this is a great game day recipe for a Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cheeseball that I found on Pinterest and adapted into this recipe to suit my husbands sweet tooth. It could easily be made into any shape from football to basketball to wherever your imagination takes you!
