Ingredients (Makes about 16 servings)
- 1 ½ cups (9 oz / 255 g) sugar-free white chocolate chips
- ½ cup (128 g) natural creamy peanut butter (unsweetened, no added sugar)
- ½ cup (3 oz / 85 g) sugar-free dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa or higher)
- 2 tsp coconut oil (optional, helps smooth melting)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Pan
Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Leave extra paper hanging over the edges so you can lift the dessert out easily once it sets.
Step 2 – Melt the White Chocolate & Peanut Butter
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and peanut butter.
- Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth.
- Add 1 teaspoon coconut oil if the mixture seems too thick.
- Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 3 – Melt the Dark Chocolate
- In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil.
- Stir until smooth and glossy.
Step 4 – Create the “Tiger” Swirls
- Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the white chocolate–peanut butter base in thin lines.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to drag through the chocolate, creating swirls and tiger-like stripes.
Step 5 – Chill and Set
Place the pan in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours or until firm. Once set, lift the parchment paper out and cut the dessert into 16 squares.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Can be frozen for up to 2 months. Simply thaw for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips for Success
- Use Quality Chocolate – Not all sugar-free chocolates melt the same. Brands like Lily’s or ChocZero are highly recommended.
- Choose Natural Peanut Butter – Look for one with just peanuts and salt, no added sugar or oils.
- Make it Nut-Free – Swap peanut butter for almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter.
- Keep It Cold – Tiger Butter melts easily at room temperature; store in the fridge for the best texture.
Variations
- Tiger Almond Butter – Swap peanut butter for almond butter for a milder flavor.
- Mint Tiger Butter – Add a drop of peppermint extract to the dark chocolate layer.
- Crunchy Texture – Stir in crushed nuts, seeds, or unsweetened coconut flakes before chilling.
- Extra Keto Boost – Add a tablespoon of MCT oil to the peanut butter mixture for more ketone support.
