Like most of you, I spent Sunday evening being a good rule abiding American and celebrated that food, friends, and fun filled holiday also known as, the the Super Bowl.
I hate to be, ‘That Girl,” but I was thoroughly guilty of not giving a Hoot n’ Nanny who won the game, I was more excited to cook for a crowd and gather with friends!
When I came across this recipe from Crazy for Crust, for Peanut Butter Football dip, I knew it was just too perfect!
While I adore cooking, my artistic ability is not just minimal, it simply doesn’t exist. That being said, Dorothy’s recipe was shockingly easy to form something that resembled the shape of a football! It wasn’t until I attempted to add the lacing that things got a little messy.
Oh well, whatcha gonna do?
One Note:
I ended up using close to 2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar as opposed to 1 1/2 – 2. Dorothy’s recipe calls for 1 cup of peanut butter, I used 2/3 c of peanut butter and 1/3 c of Nutella and judging from the crowd, it was a hit!
Rosemary White Bean Dip
Nothing screams game time like dip. As yummy delicious as Velveeta and Rotel is (no sarcasm I swear) a satisfying, fresh bean dip is something to be savored.
This hearty, yet light dip strikes just the right balance to please any football loving dude AND pass the healthy test. Enjoy!

What is your favorite type of game day food?
What a fun football idea! I’d almost want a Super Bowl every weekend, just so I could eat more of that fabulous peanut butter dip…
Yum, me too!
Maybe we could start a tradition of every Sunday night football game throughout the whole season? ;]
I’m glad you liked it! And that dip sounds AMAZING. I love white bean dip, how genius to add rosemary!
Than you for creating it!
Rosemary is like chocolate, it makes everything better
I love the looks of that white bean dip! Sounds like you had lots of delicious things to snack on.
The pb football dip sounds so good! And I think your artistic skills are on par. I’m terrible at that stuff too- I always drip the icing everywhere and it just looks like a mess.
