Tiger Butter Bark Candy

Do not try to say the name of this recipe fast. Nope. Just don't. It will twist your tongue and make others think you are loopy. Okay. I'm usually a little blonde. so nobody would know the difference. Just saying.

Anyway, this is yet another recipe using peanut butter. It's just different and easy and a wonderful variation from my usual peppermint bark. I found the recipe in the December/January issue of Country Woman magazine. I highly recommend the magazine. It has wonderful recipes and stories for everyone, whether you live in the country or not.

Tiger Butter Bark Candy

1 lb. white candy coating, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon shortening

Line a 15x10x1-inch pan with waxed paper.

Place candy coating and peanut butter in a microwave safe dish. Melt at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Spread mixture into the prepared pan.

In another microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and shortening. Again, melt at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until well blended. Drizzle this mixture over the top of the peanut butter mixture. Use a knife to swirl the two mixtures so that it looks marbled.

Refrigerate until firm. Break into pieces. Enjoy!
