Common Questions

→ What type of white chocolate works best?
Go for melting chocolate or vanilla candy coating that's made for melting. Don't try using regular white chocolate chips or bars as they'll burn too easily.
→ How long do these keep?
They'll stay good for about 5 days when kept at room temperature. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months if you store them in an airtight container.
→ Can I use crunchy peanut butter?
We suggest sticking with creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture and best results. The crunchy kind might make your cookies fall apart.
→ Do these need to be refrigerated?
Once they've set up in the fridge, you can keep them at room temperature. Just pop them back in the refrigerator if your house gets really hot.
→ Why did my chocolate seize?
White chocolate gets lumpy and stiff when it's heated too much. Make sure you follow the package directions and warm it up slowly for the best outcome.
