Holiday baking is the best, right? I love how the house smells like Christmas. But, I have a little confession, my family’s most favorite holiday sweet is not even baked. Yep, it is the absolute best and my kids can not wait for the Tiger Butter to be made each holiday season.
We set everything up for an afternoon and make a ton of this yummy treat all at once. It is the perfect gift for a neighbor, and travels so well for holiday get togethers. Don’t forget to make enough of this Tiger Butter for your own family too!
I was given this recipe before I had my children. One of the sweet ladies that I worked with at the hospital was also an amazing cook. She is the same one that shared the Peach Cobbler Recipe with me that is “slap your momma good!” Seriously, 3 ingredients and that is it. Your kids will love creating the “tiger stripes” in this holiday treat.
So Let’s Make This Delish Holiday Treat!

Tiger Butter
Ingredients:
1. 1 16 oz. package Vanilla Flavored Almond Bark { or vanilla candy coating }
2. 3/4 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
3. 1/2 Cup Milk Chocolate Morsels
Directions:
1. Line a Jelly Roll Pan with wax paper.
2. Melt the Vanilla Almond Bark until smooth and creamy. You can either do this in a double boiler or in the microwave {careful not to scorch it! }
3. Pour the Vanilla Almond Bark into a large bowl. Add the peanut butter and mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Pour mixture onto the wax paper lined jelly roll pan and smooth out. If you want thicker Tiger Butter, you could use a 9×13 inch glass baking dish lined with wax paper.
5. Melt the the Milk Chocolate Morsels either in a double boiler or in the microwave, being careful not to scorch. Mix until smooth.
6. Drizzle the milk choclate over the almond bark/peanut butter mixture in a side to side pattern.
7. Take a butter knife and drag the chocolate through the almond bark mixture, in the opposite direction from the way you drizzled the chocolate, to form “stripes” in the Tiger Butter.
8. Allow the Tiger Butter to set by placing it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
9. Once it is set, we simply break it up into small pieces. Store it in an airtight container. I keep it in the fridge, but let it come to room temperature to serve.

Now if you want to mix it up a bit, there are a few variations we have tried over the years. Crunchy peanut butter instead of the creamy version is delish. Also, one year we left out the peanut butter all together and added crunched up peppermints instead. The mix of peppermint and milk chocolate was amazing.
