Ingredients 1 12- oz bag white chocolate chips 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter 2-3 cups mini pretzels 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for drizzling OR 2 TBSP chocolate jimmies for sprinkling Instructions Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Place white chocolate chips in a glass or ceramic bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Add 1/3 cup peanut butter to the bowl and microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Drop 1 mini pretzel at a time into peanut butter mixture. Turn to coat. You can dip using a fork, but I prefer using a Wilton Dipping Tool. Makes it even easier!
