    ½ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

  2. 2

  3. 3

    Combine white chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir mixture until smooth. If chips aren't completely melted, continue heating in the microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.

Tips for Perfect Crispy Tiger Butter Bars

  • Swirl Secrets: For that iconic "tiger" look, dollop your melted peanut butter mixture over the chocolate/butterscotch base, then gently swirl with a knife or skewer. Don't overmix – a few elegant swirls are all you need!
  • Chocolate Choices: While semisweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips create a classic contrast, feel free to experiment! Dark chocolate can add a sophisticated depth, or milk chocolate for an extra sweet touch.
  • Add-ins & Variations: Want more crunch? Sprinkle some chopped peanuts or pecans on top before chilling. A pinch of sea salt can also elevate the flavors beautifully. For festive occasions, a scattering of colorful sprinkles before they set makes them extra appealing!
