Keto Tiger Butter – All Day I Dream About Food

Keto Tiger Butter is a delicious marbled candy made with white chocolate, peanut butter, and dark chocolate. So creamy and so easy to make, it’s a low carb treat your whole family will enjoy. This post is sponsored by ChocZero.

The first time I was introduced to the joys of tiger butter was at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, back when I was in university. I wasn’t really sure what it was, but it looked like a creamy peanut butter base swirled with dark chocolate. One bite and I was in love.

I shudder now to think about how that treat took my blood sugars for a wild ride. But the memory of it stayed with me for decades, and now I can indulge in my own delicious sugar-free tiger butter. I make this delicious keto candy a few times a year and it always disappears faster than I would like.

Why you will love recipe

Tiger butter is a peanut butter candy bark made with white chocolate, with dark chocolate swirled in like tiger stripes. It’s on the soft side, so it’s a little like fudge but not quite. It’s truly rich and delicious, and a little goes a long way.

Most conventional recipes for tiger butter call for copious amounts of white chocolate and dark chocolate chips. Needless to say, the sugar content is through the roof.

Of course, now ChocZero has created keto white chocolate chips and the game has changed entirely. I can’t get enough of finding new fun ways to work with them. And re-working my keto tiger butter recipe was high on my list.

This sweet treat is incredibly easy to make. You simply melt the white chocolate with some creamy peanut butter and spread out in a pan. Then swirl in some keto chocolate ganache and refrigerate. The hardest part is waiting for it to set.

But once it’s ready, you have an easy sugar-free candy bark that tastes as good as the original. And each square has only 2.5g net carbs. Now that’s my kind of treat.

Ingredients you need

Step-by-step directions

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, white chocolate chips, and cocoa butter. Whisk until melted and smooth. Then remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons the powdered sweetener until smooth.
2. Pour the peanut butter mixture an 8-inch square baking pan lined with parchment paper and spread to the edges.
3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the whipping cream to a simmer. Remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let sit a few minutes to melt.
4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sweetener and the vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
5. Drizzle the dark chocolate over the peanut butter mixture and swirl with a knife. Refrigerate until firm. Lift the tiger butter out of the pan by the overhanging parchment and use a sharp knife to cut into 16 bars.

Expert tips

Cocoa butter helps white chocolate melt more smoothly and it makes the tiger butter more firm. It also adds some extra healthy fats and keeps the carb count down. You can use coconut oil but the candy will be much softer at room temperature.

Choose your peanut butter wisely! Make sure it is as creamy as possible and not too drippy. Mix in any oils VERY well. I like natural brands that don’t require mixing, such as Santa Cruz. If the peanut butter you use is unsalted, consider adding ⅛ teaspoon of salt as you melt it with the white chocolate.

Since the cream for the chocolate ganache is such a small amount, watch it carefully. It will simmer very quickly.

Notes

If you don’t have cocoa butter or prefer not to use it, you can use another ounce of white chocolate chips. This does raise the carb count by 1g per serving. 
Storage Information: Once you’ve chilled and cut the tiger butter into bars, store in the fridge in a covered container for up to 10 days. It’s fine out of the fridge for an hour or two, but can get a bit too soft after that. You can also freeze it for several months.
