How to Make Peanut Butterscotch Pretzel Snacks

  1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup butterscotch chips and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter.
  2. Microwave on medium-high power for 1 minute.
  3. Stir well. Microwave in 10-20 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
  4. Dip approximately 3/4 of each pretzel twist into the butterscotch mixture.
  5. Gently shake off any excess mixture.
  6. Place the dipped pretzels on a wire rack to cool and set.
  7. Sprinkle lightly with sesame seeds (optional).
  8. Repeat steps 4-7 with the remaining pretzels. If the mixture thickens too much during the process, microwave in 10-20 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or until the coating is completely set.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
