White chocolate needs a little TLC when melting in the microwave. It's best to heat in small increments and stop to stir frequently. This can take a few minutes so, be patient. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler on the stovetop to melt the white chocolate, peanut butter chips, peanut butter and cream together.
