Dip the Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and the coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave.
- Heat in 30-second intervals and stir often.
- Dip the pretzel sandwiches in the melted chocolate, covering them completely.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.

Notes
- Start with plenty of space to work.
- Let your peanut butter pretzels cool completely before dipping or they will slide apart.
- Don't like white chocolate, opt for royal icing, white icing, or white frosting.
- Melting wafers work better than chips. They have stabilizers in them to help them hold their shape so they don't melt as smooth.
- Use a dipping fork for easier dipping and covering cookies.
- Dip the cookies in colored white chocolate to match your team colors or make themed cookies.
