show those ritz sandwich crackers who's boss!

This isn't my recipe, I saw these on a food blog when I was stumble-upon-ing. I changed the recipe a bit to make it a little healthier and more to my liking. Kudos to "Two Tiny Kitchens" for inventing this perfection.

What You Need: yields approx 36 sandwiches
mini pretzels
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1.5 T softened or melted butter
1 cup milk chocolate chips (or dark chocolate if you prefer that)
2 t vegetable or canola oil

Mix together the peanut butter and the butter so that the peanut butter takes on a smooth, shiny consistency

Mix in the sugars until the peanut butter is easy to mold with hands without too much sticking.

roll into teaspoon size balls
sandwich each ball in between two pretzels
stick them in the freezer or fridge for 30 minutes until the sandwiches firm up
meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in the microwave at 15 second intervals for 45 second, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth and velvety

Dip 1/4, 1/2 or the entire pretzel into the melted chocolate. Work quickly because chocolate hardens as it cools! 
Place the dipped sandwiches onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate to set, about 30-60 minutes. Keep refrigerated until you're ready to eat!
