Chocolate, vanilla and peanut butter all swirled together in one beautiful bite! Tiger Butter Fudge is a mix of most everyone’s favorite dessert flavors and is a splendid gift to give friends, neighbors and people you love during the holidays.
During this time of year, we all have people in our lives that we want to show how much we appreciate them. If you are like me, you’ve got the mail person, lawn guys, delivery people (they may need 2 treats!) the dog walker and others who have been really kind to you throughout the year. I always want to give them something “made with love” from my kitchen along with a gift card or two. This year, I decided on this yummy Tiger Butter Fudge. It is SO good and comes together in no time.
The first step is to melt almond bark in the microwave until smooth. It only takes about 2 minutes and you’ve got the base layer of your Tiger Butter.
Step two is melting down some chocolate chips. I do that in the microwave as well. When all the chocolate is melted and stirred until smooth, you add the peanut butter. Now, there’s a little story here. Some recipes call for the peanut butter to be added to the vanilla but that didn’t work for me. See, my boys do not like peanut butter. I know, it’s sinful but there’s no changing their minds. So, I added the peanut butter to the chocolate just to *disguise* it. Believe it or not, it worked…they liked it!
Next, you just pour out the chocolate peanut butter mixture on top of the melted almond bark making lines.Â
Then…it’s time to get creative. Using a sharp knife, I made large swirls, then smaller ones to turn my Tiger Butter into something beautiful. Just go for it, friends. There’s no way to mess this step up.
In the end, you have something wonderful! I love the way the pretty swirls turned out and one bite of this fudge, you’ll know why it’s got butter in the name. It’s a marvelous treat, made with love that’s sure to let folks know how much you care about them.
Ingredients
- 24 oz almond bark
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 10-12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare a small sheet pan or an 8x8 baking dish with parchment or foil. Set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt almond bark for 2 minutes. Stir until melted. May need to be microwaved 1 to 2 more times at 30 second intervals.
- Pour onto prepared pan. Melt chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl for 2 minutes. Add peanut butter and stir until thoroughly mixed. Pour stripes of chocolate over almond bark. Using a sharp knife, make swirls in mixture to blend into a pretty pattern. Place in refrigerator to set up.
- Remove from fridge then cut into squares. Can also be broken into pieces. Wrap in pretty bags to give as gifts.
Tiger Fudge does NOT say how much white almond bark to use!!
It also only says “small” pan!! What’s “small?”
Makes it impossible to make with such unclear or omissions!
â–¢24 oz almond bark
â–¢1 cup peanut butter
â–¢10-12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
8×8 pan is probably your best bet
Hope it works out for you!
Merry Christmas!
This tastes great but I had the hardest time melting the chocolate chips. Had to put in pan over warm water to get it to melt. Definitely needs the peanut butter in both types of chips to get it smooth enough.
Such pretty fudge! One question, though: When this cools, is it soft and fudge-like in texture, or is it as hard as the white almond bark?
Hey Pat. Great question. The texture is more like fudge but just a bit firmer. Since you add in the peanut butter it does get a bit creamer. Let me know how you like it!

Hi, made 2 pans of theses today, except mine is very dark, not pretty swirls like yours which shows more white with different chocolate swirls.. Help!! what did I do wrong??? Thanks ;))
Oh no! Hmmm, the only thing I can think of is that maybe you swirled (not sure that’s a word) too much. Is that possible. I used a steak knife but a regular knife would work too. Let me know if this helps.

Can I use plain white bark instead of almond bark? I have family members who are allergic to tree nuts, but they can have peanuts.
Hey Elena. You certainly use the plain white bark. I hope you like the fudge! Merry Christmas.

This looks amazing! I love your little trick on hiding the peanut butter 😉 Clever lady!
Thanks!!

That looks so pretty and good. I’m going to have to make it for Christmas. You said small sheet pan but what size would you say it would work best using? Thanks for posting the recipe. I love trying new things.
Thanks Ginger! I use the smaller sheet pan that normally comes in a set. I call it a 1/2 sheet pan but that’s not official. You could also use an 12 X 9 glass baking dish as well. Hope that helps.
Merry Christmas!
