In a small bowl, soften the cream cheese at room temperature (or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds). Combine the rest of the ingredients except for the bacon bits and shape into a football. Pour bacon bits onto a plate and roll the cheese football until coated. Use the slivered almonds to create the cross-laces.
