Tiger'S Butter
Tiger's Butter offers a rich, creamy combination of white and dark chocolates with smooth peanut butter, creating a marbled treat perfect for fudge lovers or as a decadent center for homemade candies. Its luscious flavor and elegant appearance make it ideal for special occasions or sweet gifting.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix thoroughly by hand the melted white summer coating and peanut butter in a small bowl.
- Add the melted light chocolate to that mixture and stir slightly.
- Pour the mixture into a wax paper lined pan (approximately 10-inch square).
- Use a table knife to stir pretty swirls of the dark and light mixtures to give a marbled effect.
- Let set at room temperature until solid.
- Cut into squares and serve as you would fudge or roll into balls and use as centers in a bonbon mold.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. If you prefer a darker flavor, substitute half of the light chocolate with semi-sweet chocolate. You can also try using crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth for added texture. Be sure to mix the ingredients gently to maintain the marbled effect without fully blending them.
Serving Suggestions
Cut into squares and serve as a delightful treat alongside coffee or tea. They also make a great addition to dessert trays for gatherings. For a fun twist, roll them into balls and dip them in additional melted chocolate for a more decadent bite. These sweet treats pair beautifully with Chocolate Cake Icing for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them, but let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly. Avoid freezing as it may change the texture.
