      Title: Football Cake Pops
 Categories: Cakes, Cheese, Nuts, Snacks
      Yield: 4 Dozen
 
 15 1/4 oz Box chocolate cake mix
      1 c  Cream cheese frosting
      1 c  Dark chocolate chips
      1 c  Peanut butter chips
      1 tb Shortening
     48    Lollipop sticks;  4" long
    1/4 c  White decorating icing
 
  Bake cake according to package directions; cool completely. In a large
  bowl, break cake into fine crumbles. Add frosting and stir until fully
  incorporated, adding more frosting if needed, until mixture maintains
  its shape when squeezed together with palm of hand. Shape 1 tablespoon
  into a ball, then mold into the shape of a football. Repeat with
  remaining mixture. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets; refrigerate
  until firm, about 30 minutes.
  
  Meanwhile, place chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and shortening
  in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 30 seconds and stir; repeat,
  stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth, adding more
  shortening if needed. Do not overheat.
  
  Dip a lollipop stick into chocolate mixture; insert halfway through a
  football shape, taking care not to break through the other side.
  Return to baking sheet until set; repeat to form remaining cake pops.
  Coat each cake pop with the chocolate mixture, allowing excess to
  drip off; reheat and stir chocolate mixture as needed. Return cake
  pops to baking sheets, ensuring they do not touch one another. Allow
  chocolate coating to set until firm to the touch. To decorate, use
  icing to draw laces onto cake pops.
