Cheesy Football

Super bowl party goers pay attention - how cute is this ?!  You can pretty much use any cheese ball recipe - and then shape into a football!  Thought it was fun!  This wasn't my favorite cheese ball recipe, but it was pretty good - and hey, it looked cute :)  OH - and look....my new platter got a cutie football for the occasion :)

Ingredients:
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 pkg.  (8 oz.) KRAFT Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup  MIRACLE WHIP Dressing
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 green onions, chopped
1 cup chopped PLANTERS Pecans
2 tablespoons pimiento strips
RITZ Crackers

Beat first 5 ingredients with mixer until blended. Stir in onions. Refrigerate several hours.

Form into football shape; coat with nuts and add pimentos for the lacing. Serve with crackers.
