Red, White & Blue Tiger Butter

Yield: 16-20 pieces
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chill Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
  • ¾ cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
  • Red and blue oil-based candy coloring (or candy melts for coloring)
  • Red, white & blue sprinkles (stars, jimmies, or nonpareils)

Instructions

  • Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
  • Stir the peanut butter into the melted white chocolate until completely smooth and creamy.
  • Divide the mixture into three bowls. Leave one bowl white, tint one bowl red, and tint one bowl blue using oil-based candy coloring. (Avoid regular liquid food coloring, which can cause chocolate to seize.)
  • Spoon the red, white, and blue mixtures randomly into the prepared pan. Gently spread them together into an even layer without overmixing.
  • In a separate bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips with the remaining coconut oil until smooth.
  • Drizzle the melted milk chocolate over the top.
  • Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the milk chocolate through the colored peanut butter mixture to create a beautiful tiger stripe pattern.
  • Immediately sprinkle with patriotic sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
  • Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until firm.
  • Lift from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares. Store chilled until ready to serve.

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
