Tiger Butter Fudge

Spread the Base

• Pour the melted peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan.
• Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it into a smooth, even layer.

Prepare the Chocolate Swirl

• In a separate small, microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and pourable.

Create the Tiger Stripes

• Drizzle the melted semi-sweet chocolate over the peanut butter layer in random lines or dollops.
• Take a butter knife, toothpick, or skewer and gently drag it through the two layers in alternating directions (e.g., first vertically, then horizontally) to create a marbled, tiger-stripe pattern.
• Do not overmix, as this will muddy the colors. Just a few passes are needed.

Chill Until Firm

• Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is completely set and firm to the touch.
• For a faster set, you can place it in the freezer for 45-60 minutes.

Slice and Serve

• Once firm, use the parchment paper handles to lift the entire block of fudge out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
• For clean cuts, run a large, sharp knife under hot water and wipe it dry before each slice.
• Cut the fudge into 24 small squares (a 6x4 grid).
• Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
