Tiger Butter

I'm not even sure where this recipe came from. It's one of those hand-written ones on a now faded and food-covered torn sheet of paper. It's very simple to make and looks gorgeous when it's done, and if you love peanut butter and chocolate (like I do), you'll really enjoy it.

Tiger Butter
1 pound white chocolate
½ cup chunky peanut butter
6 ounces (1 cup) semisweet chocolate morsels

Line a 15½- by 10½-inch jelly roll pan with wax paper. Break white chocolate into 1-inch pieces in a 1½-quart bowl. Microwave on high (100 percent power) 1 to 2 minutes or until melted. (White chocolate chips will require less time to melt.) Stir until smooth. Add peanut butter and microwave on high for 2 minutes, or until melted; stir until smooth. (Microwave an additional 30 seconds if needed.) Spread mixture into prepared pan.

In a 2-cup microwave-safe measuring cup, melt chocolate morsels on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour melted chocolate over peanut butter mixture; swirl through with a knife. Refrigerate. When firm, cut or break into pieces.
