MY LATEST RECIPES

Tiger Butter is one of the easiest holiday candies you can make! If you’ve never made, or maybe even never heard of Tiger Butter, add these items to your grocery list and make it! It’s such a simple candy and everyone just devours it. It’s super creamy with amazing flavor and hello, it’s also insanely pretty. Oh and did I mention it takes just 3 ingredients and about 5 minutes to make?! Talk about a winner!

Tiger Butter made from 3 ingredients that are melted & swirled together in minutes. Gorgeous holiday candy recipe with rich & creamy peanut butter chocolate flavor.What is Tiger Butter Fudge?

Tiger Butter is an absolutely delicious, insanely easy type of Christmas candy! It requires just 3 ingredients and a few minutes to make. Tiger Butter is a soft chocolate candy with a smooth, rich peanut butter flavor. It has the consistency of fudge but is the size and shape of a bark candy.

Tiger Butter made from 3 ingredients that are melted & swirled together in minutes. Gorgeous holiday candy recipe with rich & creamy peanut butter chocolate flavor.How to make Tiger Butter Fudge

Tiger Butter is SO easy to make! First, assemble your ingredients. You’ll need semi sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. I think chunky peanut butter would taste good in this recipe, but the swirls wouldn’t look nearly as pretty, so I use creamy peanut butter.

Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave. You can also heat the peanut butter for 30 seconds. Combine the two ingredients and stir gently until smooth and well combined. Place a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Pour the peanut butter mixture onto the parchment paper. Use a rubber scraper to smooth the mixture out into a rectangle shape. It’s okay if it doesn’t reach the sides of the pan.

Heat the semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Spoon dollops of chocolate out in lines over the peanut butter mixture. Once all of the chocolate is transferred, use a sharp knife in long, smooth strokes to swirl the chocolate until your desired design is achieved. Sometimes I swirl it more, other times less, but it’s always fun! Let chocolate cool to set, then cut into 1.5″ squares.

Melting chocolate in the microwave is easy if you go slowly. Always use a glass or ceramic bowl and chocolate that’s not old. To melt 1 cup of chocolate chips I’d begin with 1 minute in the microwave. After the 1 minute, let chocolate sit for 2-3 minutes. Then, gently stir and see if chocolate begins to melt smooth. If it’s still really solid, add 20 seconds in the microwave, then let it sit again. Often chocolate looks like it’s not melted when it really is, and you don’t know for sure until you gently shake or stir it. If your chocolate melts but it’s too thick to work with, try adding 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening, then letting it melt and stirring it in.

  • 1 bag vanilla chips (11 oz)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions for making Tiger Butter Christmas Candy

  1. Line a bakers quarter sheet (or a 9×13 glass pan) with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Put semi sweet chocolate chips in a small glass bowl. Microwave for 1 minute and stir gently until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Pour vanilla chips in a medium sized glass bowl. Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds. Stir gently until smooth. Add peanut butter and stir until well combined and smooth.
  4. Pour vanilla-peanut butter mixture onto the prepared pan. Mixture won’t reach the edges of the pan and that’s OK. Once it’s settled, take the melted semi sweet chocolate and pour it onto the vanilla-peanut butter mixture in lines.
  5. Take a knife and run it the opposite direction of the chocolate lines you created, to achieve a swirl pattern. Run your knife through the mixture as much as you’d like, to create your desired swirl pattern.
  6. Let cool either on the countertop or in the fridge. Cut into small squares. Store in an airtight container.

What’s the best chocolate to use for making candy?

Use the absolute BEST chocolate you have access to! Especially for this recipe where there are only 3 ingredients, each one really counts. I used Guittard white chocolate chips and semi sweet chocolate chips for this recipe. I’ve also used Ghirardelli chocolate chips, but they’re harder to find.

Can you freeze Tiger Butter?

Yes, you can freeze Tiger Butter in an airtight container for up to 1 month. It’s best to stack layers with pieces of parchment paper in between so that the pieces stay pretty.

    Could I use 8 oz of ghiradellie white chocolate instead of those vanilla flavored chips? I have that, and not a big fan of the vanilla flavored chips as they do not taste anything like “REAL white chocolate..

    I use the white almond bark and dark chocolate chips and it is delicious. I had never heard of this until 2 months ago from my husbands best friends and his mom makes it as described above then i ran across this with the white chips so now im going to try it your way. It all was ate in one day if it lasted that long

    I was confused about the vanilla chips being the same as white chocolate chips …good thing I got them cuz when I couldn’t find em I almost didn’t get them. But anyways they came out really well. Before I actually mixed the chocolate in I thought maybe the vanilla mixture was too brown compared to your photos but after it was all said and done it actually turned out just like the picture lol I love when that happens…anyways thanks for the super easy tasty recipe.

    Could you put crushed up pretzels in the white layer? I think the saltiness from the pretzels would give it a great flavor.

      You sure can! Just know that your swirls will look a bit different being as there will be chunks of pretzel in the mixture. 😉

    Make no mistake this is not fudge, this is peanutbutter swirl chocolate.
    I make it with Hersey’s white chocolate chops. It is tastes good, BUt……
    The measurements and directions are to use a 9 x 13 pan, making this on a pan this large, well, end result your results will be REALLY thin… more like chocolate peanutbutter bark.
    So, if you try to make this in a smaller pan thereby making it thicker, you end up with WAY too much dark chocolate… I like the ingredients but this is neither fudge ir a chocolate square, it is Bark…

      The photos and the recipe measurements and directions all go together to help people understand what it looks like. I gave an explanation on the whole bark/ fudge thing in the beginning. If you expect a bark, you might be disappointed because it’s much softer than traditional bark. In our family, we call it a fudge. To each his own- what matters most is that everyone enjoys it, right? 🙂

      You don’t *have* to, but it makes melting easier since those bowls retain heat better. So you end up with smoother chocolate and less likelihood of scorching it. 🙂

    Maggie, I’m not sure it’s fair to rate this “2 stars” because you’re disappointed after changing Jessica’s prep instructions. That’s not on her. Prepared as instructed, this is a lovely, quick addition to the dessert buffet!! I’m certain that the other purists out there will be able to discern the difference between “real” fudge and this time-saving delicious imposter. ????

    This was not nearly enough for a 9 x 13 pan and did not harden. A slpooy mess and waste of ingredients.

    Aside from sharing a fabulous recipe you’ve also demonstrated what it means to be a gracious lady whether you’re making peanut butter bark or fudge. Instead of splitting hairs and trying to bring anybody down, you are spreading the love. The positivity and good energy and intent that you put out will echo and touch so many lives. It’s a beautiful thing. Thank you for sharing. I know that whenever peanut butter fiddle diddle extravaganza -whatever it’s called, comes up I’ll remember both lessons that I learned today from you and good ol’ Mags. ???? You’re awesome.

    I just made the recipe today. Wow! The only issue I had was that it didn’t cut neatly. No one will ever know, though, because I took it upon myself to (ahem) “clean up” those rough edges. Excellent and easy! Thanks!

      Hi Kara! Next time stick it in the fridge for 5 minutes or so, then cut. 🙂 Although it sounds like you made the best of it! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
