How Do I Make Tiger Butter Homemade Fudge?

Step-By-Step Instructions

Start by adding the white chocolate chips to a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl.

Next, add the peanut butter to the bowl. Melt the chips in the microwave for about one minute.
When you take the chips out of the microwave, they may look like they didn’t melt much, but give it a good stir anyway. Most of the time, the chocolate will melt completely once you start stirring.
If it needs some more melting after you stir, put it back in the microwave and add ten seconds at a time, stirring in between.

Stir the white chocolate chips and peanut butter until it’s combined.

Pour the white chocolate and peanut butter into an 11″ x 7″ prepared dish lined with tinfoil or parchment paper.
I sprayed the tinfoil with non-stick spray before I poured it in so it would be easier to take out.

Place the peanut butter fudge in the refrigerator for a few minutes while you get the semi-sweet chocolate ready.

Now, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to a small bowl. Place in the microwave for about one minute.

Stir until all of the chips are melted. Again, if the chips are not melted, place them back in the microwave for ten-second increments.

Drizzle the semi-sweet chocolate over the peanut butter fudge.

Take a knife and swirl it through the chocolate fudge recipe until you get the pattern that you like. Place it in the refrigerator for about two hours to harden.

Once the tiger butter hardens, lift it out of the pan by the tinfoil. You can push the sides of the tinfoil down and easily cut the fudge.
Tiger butter homemade fudge is an easy and fun treat to make. I always love to bring treats to the office staff at the kid’s schools, and they are happy to receive it!
If you want to make something simple for neighbors around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, this is it.
