Ingredients Notes
- White baking chips: White chips melt smoothly and blend well with the peanut butter to create a luscious, creamy texture. I do not recommend substituting vanilla chips for tiger butter fudge recipes because they might not melt as smoothly or have a slightly different texture.
- Creamy peanut butter: The star of the show, giving your dessert its rich, nutty flavor and a smooth consistency. If you want to add crunchy texture to your treat, you can use crunchy peanut butter instead. Remember that it might make the mixture a bit thicker than creamy peanut butter.
- Milk chocolate chips: Adds a layer of chocolatey sweetness that complements the peanut butter perfectly. If you prefer a less sweet flavor, you can substitute semisweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.
- Vegetable oil: This helps achieve a smooth, glossy texture in the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture. It also ensures that the chips melt evenly and blend well, preventing the mixture from becoming too thick or hard. You can use canola oil or vegetable oil if you prefer.

How to Make Tiger Butter Fudge
- Melt: Microwave the white baking chips on full power for 1 minute, stir, and continue in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.
- Make The Peanut Butter Mixture: Microwave the peanut butter at full power for 30 seconds, stir, and pour into the melted white chips. Stir until combined.
- Pour In The Pan: Pour the peanut butter fudge base into the pan.
- Melt: Microwave the chocolate chips and oil on full power for 30 seconds, stir, and heat for another 15 seconds, if needed, until melted and smooth.
- Drizzle And Drag: Drizzle the melted chocolate over peanut butter base in zigzag lines. Create your desired swirl pattern by dragging the tip of a knife around the top.
- Firm In The Fridge: Cover with aluminum foil and chill in the refrigerator for 45 minutes.
- Slice And Serve: Cut 6 slices x 6 slices. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
Homemade tiger fudge candy tastes even better than the store-bought, long-cooked kind in a box. It’s the perfect sweet treat to package and give as gifts and is perfect for potlucks and holiday parties. Enjoy a slice for dessert after dinner, and make sure to stash some in the freezer for times you have a candy craving.
Tips & Variations
- Pick Your Peanut Butter: Feel free to use your favorite brands of smooth peanut butter in this recipe, but do NOT use Natural or Natural No-Stir options. These can separate and will result in a different outcome and texture.
- Prepare The Pan: I like to line my baking dish with parchment paper to make removing the fudge from the pan easy. Be sure to leave a slight overhang. Feel free to use small binder clips to fasten the top edge of the parchment paper to the baking dish. This will help ensure the parchment paper does not fold over on top of the fudge and stick to the top.
- Set Before Slicing: If your kitchen is cooler, you can allow the fudge to rest at room temperature to solidify before slicing and serving.
