Ingredients:

1 Cup Peanut Butter
2 Tablespoons Softened Butter
1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
Butter Snap Pretzels
1 Cup Wilton's Dipping Chocolate Melts

- Put a small dollop of the peanut butter mixture (about 1 tsp.) on a pretzel, then gently press another pretzel on top
- Place pretzels on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes; an hour is better
- Melt chocolate taking care not to burn, if it becomes too thick, add a small about of vegetable shortening until it thins out 
- Dip one end of each bite in the chocolate and lay on parchment paper (to prevent sticking) until hardened 
 

 

 

Flip it!

- Sprinkle wet chocolate with sprinkles in holiday or party theme colors!
