Chocolate Football Patties for 24 Servings

Instructions:

1. Combine 1 cup peanut butter, 3 tbsp softened butter, vanilla, and sea salt in your mixer. Whir until the mixture looks like pale, smooth silk.
2. Gradually add the 2 cups of sifted powdered sugar and the 0.5 cup of pretzel crumbs. Mix on low until a stiff, pliable dough forms.
3. Take a tiny pinch. If it's too sweet, add one more tiny pinch of salt. The pretzel saltiness should peek through the sugar.
4. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball, then pinch the ends to create a classic football oval. Place them on a lined tray.
5. Put the tray in the freezer for 20 minutes. Wait until they feel firm and cold to the touch.
6. Heat the 12 oz chocolate wafers and 1 tsp coconut oil in 30 second bursts in the microwave. Stir until the liquid is glossy and free of lumps.
7. Drop a chilled patty into the chocolate, flip with a fork, and lift. Tap the fork on the bowl edge to remove excess chocolate.
8. Slide the patty onto the parchment. Let them sit for 15 minutes until the shell is matte and firm.
9. Melt the 0.25 cup white chocolate chips. Draw one long line down the center and three or four short lines across it.
10. Let the laces set for another 10 minutes. Check that the chocolate doesn't smudge when touched lightly.
