Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (4 ounces)
  • 2 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar (12 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12 ounces)

  2. In a stand up mixer fitted with the paddle, beat peanut butter, the melted white chocolate, butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt on medium speed, just until combined, about 1 minute.
