    Recipe Tips:

    • Creamy peanut butter is recommended as it is going to help to give you that creamy texture.
    • Make sure to do 20-30 second heat cycles, otherwise you can overheat the chocolate and it will seize up.

    FAQs

    What is tiger butter?

    Tiger butter is a holiday candy that is so popular. It offers the consistency of a fudge, and is rich in chocolate and peanut butter flavor. Give it a try today.

    How long does fudge keep?

    You can expect your fudge to keep for 1-2 weeks. It will dry out a bit as it sits, but you can always freeze what you don’t plan to eat right away.

    Can I use almond bark in replace of white chocolate chips?

    If you use almond bark it will adjust the texture of the dessert. Almond bark sets up pretty hard, so you will find that the texture will be slightly different. But ultimately you can swap it out.

    Can I use natural peanut butter?

    For this recipe, we recommend using only creamy peanut butter. Using natural peanut butter will affect the flavor and texture of this recipe.
