How to Make Tiger Butter
Here’s how to make this tiger butter fudge in just a few simple steps. You can find the printable version of the instructions in the recipe card below.
- Prep. Line a pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the peanut butter. Heat the peanut butter and white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, until melted and smooth. Pour the mixture into the pan.
- Melt the chocolate. Heat the chocolate chips in another bowl until melted and smooth.
- Swirl. Scoop the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture. Use a knife to create a swirl pattern with the layers.
- Let harden. Let the fudge sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours to harden and set. Cut into squares and enjoy.
Tips for Success
Here are a few tips to help you make the best tiger butter fudge.
- Use quality chocolate. For both the white chocolate chips and the chocolate chips, you want to choose a quality brand such as Ghirardelli for smooth melting and the best flavor.
- Avoid natural peanut butter. A processed peanut butter like JIF or Skippy is best for this recipe. Natural peanut butter, even if it says creamy, has a different texture and sometimes separates.
- Stir the chocolate frequently. When melting the chocolate, be sure to do so in 30 second increments and stir between each one. You don’t want to overheat it as it will have a drier, gritty texture.
- Don’t overdo the swirling. When swirling the chocolate into the peanut butter, don’t overdo it or you’ll end up mixing them together too much and won’t have the pretty swirls.
Proper Storage
Keep the leftover fudge in an airtight food storage container. It can be refrigerated or held at room temperature and stay fresh for up to one week.

I made this last year for Christmas and my family loved it! I’m assuming it’s good for awhile so I can make it now for Christmas?
Thanks Michele. Yes, this fudge should keep for a few weeks in an airtight container in the fridge or at room temp for 7-10 days.
OMGoodness, this recipe is easy to make and delicious! I don’t miss making those Fudge recipes that require cooking, testing etc. I used Milk Chocolate because that’s my favorite. This fudge reminds me a little bit of a Reese Cup, but better. 5 out of.5
Awesome, easy and it’s always been my favorite go to item at the mall to satisfy my sweet tooth.
