60 minThis candy blows peanut butter cups out of the water and looks gorgeous doing it.
White chocolate melts with crunchy peanut butter to create a creamy, nutty base, then semi-sweet chocolate gets swirled on top and dragged through with a knife to create those tiger stripes. The whole thing sets up in the fridge, then gets cut into bite-sized squares.
It’s dangerously easy to make (no candy thermometer needed) and even easier to eat. Pack it in tins for holiday gifts, bring it to cookie swaps, or hide it in the back of the fridge for secret snacking.
Kitchen Tips
- Use a double boiler or bain marie to melt white chocolate gently (direct heat can make it seize and turn grainy)
- Line your pan with parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray for easy removal
- Let the peanut butter layer spread naturally before adding chocolate (don’t force it or it’ll be uneven)
- Make tiger stripes by dragging a knife through the chocolate in alternating directions
- Chill until completely firm (at least 2 hours) before cutting or it’ll be messy
Variations
- Dark Chocolate Base: Flip it and use dark chocolate for the base, white chocolate for the swirl
- Almond Butter: Swap peanut butter for almond butter for a different nutty flavor
- Holiday Stripes: Use red and green candy melts instead of dark chocolate for Christmas tiger butter
Ingredients
Directions
Line a large jelly roll style pan, about 10 by 15 inches with parchment baking paper. Spray the parchment paper lightly with cooking spray. Wax paper will also work.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate using the microwave or in a small pot over very low heat.
Meanwhile, prepare a “bain marie” or double-boiler over simmering water.
Heat the white chocolate and peanut butter, stirring constantly until melted and combined.
Evenly spread the mixture onto the prepare lined pan.
Pour the melted dark chocolate over the top and use a knife to create the tigers stripes as desired.
Chill until firm.
Cut into 28 to 36 pieces.
