Tiger Butter Fudge

Tiger Fudge, or Tiger Butter Fudge, is one of our favorite candies to make for Christmas. Really, we love it any time of the year, but it always makes the list for Christmas baking.

This fudge has the consistency of a soft and smooth fudge with a rich chocolate and peanut butter flavor. It only requires four ingredients and comes together in just a few minutes in the microwave (no candy thermometer or special tools needed). 

How to make Tiger Butter Fudge

The descriptions below correlate to the photos numbered above.

1. Place white chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl
2. Add in the peanut butter — Use a thick store brand (I don’t recommend runny/natural peanut butter for this fudge). Microwave chocolate and peanut butter in bursts until smooth and melted.
3. With a silicone spatula, scrape the melted white chocolate and peanut butter into the prepared pan.
4. Smooth into an even layer.
5. Now melt the two chocolates (milk and semi-sweet) with some more peanut butter until smooth.
6. Spread over the white chocolate layer and use a table knife to swirl together.
7. Swirled fudge is ready to set up in the fridge. Chill for 30 minutes until firm and ready to cut into pieces and serve.

Quick Tips

• Use high-quality white chocolate for the best results for both a better melt and a better flavor. My favorite brands for this Tiger Butter Fudge are Ghirardelli® and Guittard®.) Nestle® will also get good results.
• To avoid burning chocolate, stir it often in between the melting process (every 30 seconds) and stir it for at least 20-25 seconds in between each microwave burst. Remember, the chocolate is still melting even outside of the microwave.
• Don’t allow any liquid near the chocolate. Any moisture will cause the chocolate to seize and harden.

Prep Time: 15 minutes minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes minutes

Servings: 54 bars

Equipment

• Sheet pan 9 x 13-inch
• Parchment paper

Ingredients 

USMetric

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 4 cups white chocolate chips see note 1
• ▢ 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter divided
• ▢ 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ▢ 1 cup milk chocolate chips or 1 additional cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions 

• Line a 9x13-inch sheet pan with parchment paper (or foil), leaving an overhang. If using foil, lightly spritz with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Add white chocolate chips and 3/4 cup peanut butter to a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir for 20 seconds. Return to the microwave and microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring between each burst for 10 seconds, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Don’t microwave once the chips are mostly melted; just continue to stir until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Put semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips in a large bowl along with remaining 2 tablespoons peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir for 20 seconds. Return to the microwave and microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring between each burst for 10 seconds, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Don’t microwave once the chips are mostly melted; just continue to stir until smooth. Drizzle chocolate layer over white chocolate layer and use a table knife to swirl the layers together. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour, until chilled and firm.
• Using the overhang, lift the block of fudge from the pan. Cut into small pieces and serve.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: When chocolate is the primary ingredient in a recipe, quality really matters. And that’s the case in this recipe. Try to get high-quality chocolate (white, milk and semi-sweet). Not only will the flavor be better, but the texture of the Tiger Butter Fudge will improve. Poor-grade chocolate often has lots of fillers, including wax. You sure don’t want waxy fudge that tastes off!

Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge (they get melty at room temperature). These bars store in the fridge for up to one week.
