      Title: Football Cake Pops
 Categories: Cakes, Cheese, Nuts, Snacks
      Yield: 48 Pops

 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 tb 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.
