Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the white chocolate and peanut butter; pour into a greased cookie sheet.
- Melt the Hershey chocolate bar.
- Pour the melted Hershey chocolate onto the first mixture in three strips, then swirl to create a marbled effect.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother fudge, ensure the white chocolate and peanut butter are melted together over low heat to prevent burning. If you want a nuttier flavor, consider adding chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts. You can also substitute the Hershey chocolate bar with any chocolate of your choice for a different taste. For an interesting twist, try using flavored chocolate to enhance the fudge's profile.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the Tiger Fudge into bite-sized squares for serving, and consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. It also makes a great addition to a dessert platter alongside treats like Magic Chocolate Crackle Bars. For a festive touch, drizzle some melted chocolate over the top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store Tiger Fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to two weeks. To reheat, place the fudge in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it, but be careful not to overheat as it can melt too much and lose its texture.
