Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In your food processor, blend 3 cups pretzels and 3 tablespoons sugar until fine. Add 3/4 cup melted butter and pulse a few times until blended. Press pretzel crust into the bottom of a 9×13 glass baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside. Rinse and dry food processor bowl.

In a medium sauce pan, melt shortening, sugar and water over low heat. Blend until sugar dissolves. Add white chocolate chips and stir until blended and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes and then return to clean food processor.
