Tiger Butter - a delicious dessert

For my sister's baby shower... see previous post for more details... I made a wonderful dessert called Tiger Butter. I must admit I did not make this up, but rather got the recipe from my mother-in-law. I have had it on several occasions, however this was my first time making it. I had no idea how easy it was!!

So for all of you out there that LOVE peanut butter and chocolate, this is something you HAVE to try!

Ingredients:
12 oz. Peanut Butter (your favorite, crunchy or non-crunchy)
1 lb. White Chocolate Chips
1 lb. Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

What to do:
Melt the peanut butter and white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Set the Micorwave on medium low and put it in for about 2 minutes... stir... then put it back in for 2 more minutes (or however long until it seems to have melted together.

Line a 15 x 10 x 1 inch pan with wax paper (this makes it much easier when trying to get it out of the pan later). Pour the peanut butter/white chocolate melted mixture.

Immediately melt the chocolate chips in the same bowl that you melted the peanut butter and white chocolate. * This will not take as long as the other mixture.

Once melted, use a spoon and make dots of semi-sweet chocolate on top of the peanut butter/white chocolate mixture. Go ahead and use all of the semi-sweet chocolate!

Then take a fork or knife and lightly swirl the semi-sweet chocolate into the peanut butter/white chocolate. *Careful not to mix it, other wise it will not have the marbled (Tiger) look to it.

Let it cool in the fridge for an hour, then cut and serve. (Suggestion: Do not cut the Tiger butter until right before you serve, otherwise the edges might get a little dry- kind of like fudge)

ENJOY!
