A month till Christmas. Time to make Tiger Butter. I've been making this since 1990. Yikes.. the years toddle on don't they?
TIGER
BUTTER (1990) (It’s not Christmas without it!)
(A blend of white chocolate, peanut butter and
dark and milk chocolates. I got the idea from the Purdy’s tiger butter, but we
think this is a lot tastier.
It
is a staple of any Christmas package. I made this first on Morgan’s first
Christmas , in Petawawa, Ontario.)
1
big bag of white chocolate wafers from bulk food bins
6-8
big tablespoon plops of peanut butter (
add more to taste)
1
big bag milk chocolate wafers
4
cups ( about) of dark chocolate
wafers, melted, for drizzle
(Line
Two cookie sheets with wax paper and set aside)
1. Melt white chocolate in
large metal bowl, over simmering pot of water.
2. When melted, add as
many plops of Peanut butter as you wish. Stir to melt. Taste. Add more peanut butter
if you want. I dump in LOTS of peanut butter, otherwise it will be toooo sweet.
3.Melt milk chocolate
wafers over simmer hot water on stove. Stir to finish melting.
4.Plop large blobs of
white chocolate/peanut butter mixture all over each cookie sheet .Plop large
blobs of milk chocolate in between the white chocolate.
5.Take a clean knife and
gently push and swirl these chocolate blobs so that they form a pattern…do not
mix together. It’s kind of fun…like finger-painting.
6.Take spoonfuls of dark
chocolate melted wafers and drizzle over each
pan.
Let set, either in fridge or in cool garage,. Or
outside.
When cool, turn over each flat of tiger butter, peel off
wax paper and drizzle dark chocolate over the other side.
8.Let
set in a cool place.
Then break into pieces.
Will keep in sealed baggies in a cool place…not the fridge, or the chocolate
will sweat.
***If
you are allergic to peanut butter, you can leave it plain ( still yummy), or
you can use almond butter ( not as good, but it works)
