1

Begin by gathering your ingredients.
2

Line a mini muffin tin with mini cupcake wrappers.
3

Place the peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and continue to heat in 30 second intervals until melted completely.
4

Sift the powdered sugar into the bowl of peanut butter. Mix the peanut butter and sifted powdered sugar together until thoroughly combined.
5

Using a teaspoon, measure out the peanut butter filling into 20 equal portions and roll into 20 balls. Gently press down on the peanut butter balls to flatten them.
6

Microwave the white chocolate chips for 30 seconds. Stir and continue to heat in 15 second intervals until the white chocolate is smooth. (Note: Make sure your bowl and spoon are completely dry. Any wetness will cause the chocolate to seize.) Fill each mini cupcake wrapper with 1 teaspoon of melted white chocolate.
7

Place the peanut butter ball on top of the chocolate. Top with 2 additional teaspoons of melted white chocolate.
8

Immediately sprinkle red, white and blue jimmies on top. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
