If you're looking for a no-fuss sweet fix in a hurry look no further. This tricolor Tiger Butter Bark is a holiday tradition at our house and I couldn't be happier that my family enjoys devouring it as much as I love making it. Creamy peanut butter and white chocolate are melted together then embellished with a white and semi-sweet chocolate swirl. I love that no two batches are ever the same and the kids like to pitch in and help to create the swirls. After preparing the bark, finish it by chilling for one hour then it's ready to break or cut into pieces. It's like making edible art.
Easy Tiger Butter Bark Recipe
Busy days and no-bake sweets like this tiger butter bark were made for each other. It's fun not fussy to make. I've made it using white chocolate melting wafers (affiliate) as I did in this recipe and I've used white chocolate chips as well. Either will work. It's the kind of family project that everyone can be involved in, as none of the ingredients require stovetop or oven time.
How to Make the Best Tiger Butter Bark Recipe
- Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Tiger Butter Bark: Peanut butter, white chocolate chips, semi sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate melting wafers and solid vegetable shortening.
- Kitchen gadgets you'll need: A large sheet pan, microwave safe bowls or a double boiler, measuring cups and spoons and toothpicks or skewers to make the design.
- If you like, crunchy peanut butter could be used in place of creamy to add texture.
- How do you make the swirls in Tiger Butter Bark? To make the swirls, I usually pull the melted chocolate layers with a toothpick in 1-inch widths in both directions vertically and horizontally, until I get the l look that I want.
- Don't be tempted to use a stirring motion when working with the toothpick or you'll lose the swirl effect and let's face it, that's what makes this bark so enticing.
- You can use a sharp knife to cut into desired size pieces or just break it apart by hand. Keep in mind, you may want to wear gloves to avoid getting finger prints on the surface.
- Store Tiger Butter Bark at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
