Tiger Butter Fudge is a decadent, swirled confection made with smooth white chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and rich semi-sweet chocolate. It’s a stunning no-bake dessert that comes together quickly and makes an eye-catching addition to any holiday tray. With only three ingredients and a few simple steps, I find it’s one of the easiest and most satisfying treats to whip up—whether for a party, a homemade gift, or just to satisfy a sweet craving.

Tiger Butter Fudge

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups white chocolate chips

½ cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

I start by lining an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, making sure to leave a little overhang to lift the fudge out easily later.

In a microwave-safe bowl, I melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second bursts, stirring after each round until they’re smooth.

Once melted, I stir in the creamy peanut butter until the mixture is silky and fully blended.

I pour the peanut butter-white chocolate mixture into the prepared dish and smooth it out evenly with a spatula.

In another bowl, I melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips using the same microwave method, stirring until fully melted.

I drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the peanut butter layer.

With a butter knife or toothpick, I swirl the chocolate through the top layer to create that signature marbled effect.

I pop the dish into the refrigerator for about an hour, or until the fudge is completely set.

Once firm, I lift the fudge out using the parchment edges and cut it into small squares.

Variations

I sometimes use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a more intense flavor.

For a crunchy twist, I stir in crushed pretzels or chopped nuts to the peanut butter layer.

If I’m feeling festive, I sprinkle crushed peppermint or holiday sprinkles on top before chilling.

Almond butter or cashew butter also work well if I want a peanut-free version.

I’ve even tried this with butterscotch chips for a fun twist on the classic combo.

Storage/Reheating

I store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it keeps well for up to 2 weeks. If I want to store it longer, I wrap the squares individually and freeze them for up to 3 months. I let frozen fudge thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving. Since it’s a no-bake treat, there’s no need to reheat—it’s perfect straight from the fridge.

FAQs

How do I get clean cuts when slicing the fudge?

I use a sharp knife and run it under hot water, then wipe it dry between each cut. This helps get smooth, neat edges.

Can I use natural peanut butter?

I’ve tried it, but natural peanut butter tends to separate and might make the mixture oily. I prefer using regular creamy peanut butter for best texture and consistency.

Can I melt the chocolate on the stovetop instead of the microwave?

Yes, I sometimes use a double boiler if I want more control over the heat. Just make sure the chocolate doesn’t overheat or seize.

What if I don’t have parchment paper?

I recommend parchment for easy removal, but foil lightly greased with non-stick spray can work in a pinch.

Can I double the recipe for a larger batch?

Absolutely. I double the ingredients and use a 9x13-inch pan to make a bigger batch for parties or gifting.

Conclusion

Tiger Butter Fudge is the ultimate effortless indulgence. I love how it comes together with just a few ingredients, yet it delivers such a bold, beautiful impact. Whether I’m making it for a holiday dessert table or just treating myself to something sweet, this fudge never disappoints. It’s easy, impressive, and absolutely delicious—my kind of recipe.
