The very first time I made Tiger Butter Fudge, my whole kitchen filled with the sweet, buttery scent of melting white chocolate and warm peanut butter, and I instantly knew this would become one of my go-to no-fail treats. I remember standing over the bowl, stirring the glossy mixture and watching it transform into something unbelievably creamy and luxurious. Then came the swirling of the melted milk chocolate on top, which felt almost therapeutic. When I took my first bite later that day, the smoothness and richness completely won me over.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
You’ll love this recipe because it gives you bakery-quality fudge with almost zero effort, and it’s one of those desserts that looks impressively fancy even though you barely spend any time making it. Seriously, if you love creamy peanut butter, silky chocolate, and melt-in-your-mouth textures, this fudge will spoil you for every other fudge recipe out there.
Ingredients
- 4 cups white baking chips
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¾ cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil
Feel free to use white almond bark instead of white baking chips if it’s easier to find—just make sure it’s a quality brand so the fudge stays silky smooth. I’ve tried using natural peanut butter before, but it made the mixture grainy, so stick to the classic creamy kind for the best texture. For the chocolate swirl, milk chocolate chips are perfect, but dark chocolate works if you want a richer flavor. The vegetable oil helps keep the chocolate glossy and easy to drizzle.
Equipment Needed
- Microwave-safe bowls
- Rubber spatula
- 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish
- Parchment paper
- Toothpick or butter knife (for swirling)
A microwave-safe bowl makes melting the chocolate quick and mess-free, though a double boiler works too if you prefer more control. A rubber spatula lets you scrape every last bit of melted goodness from the bowl. Lining your baking dish with parchment paper makes slicing and lifting incredibly easy—trust me, don’t skip it. And a simple toothpick makes the chocolate swirl look beautifully artistic with almost no effort.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Whenever I start making Tiger Butter Fudge, the very first thing I do is line my dish with parchment paper, letting it hang over the edges a bit so I can lift the fudge easily once it sets. I used to skip this step, but after struggling to pry fudge from an unlined pan, I learned my lesson fast. Then I melt the white baking chips in the microwave, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring each time until everything becomes silky and smooth. The smell of warm white chocolate and peanut butter always makes me feel like I’m about to open a fancy candy shop.(See the next page below to continue…)
