FAQ
Can I use salted peanuts instead of unsalted?
Yes, but the final product will be much saltier due to the pretzels already adding salt. Unsalted peanuts give better flavor control.
What if my white chocolate seizes when melting?
Melt gently using double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals. If it seizes, try adding a small amount of coconut oil to smooth it out.
How long will this keep at room temperature?
Up to 2 weeks at room temperature in a sealed container, or up to 2 months refrigerated in sterilized jars.
