A SUPER FUN AND EASY DESSERT

If you enjoy the old school tiger butter fudge, then you’ll really enjoy these sugar cookie bars. Tiger Butter Fudge is made with white chocolate, peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate. We are going to take that and put it all on top of a sugar cookie base!

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS DESSERT BAR RECIPE:

  • You’ll want to purchase sugar cookie dough that is pre-made. It will be in the refrigerated section of your grocery store where the other cookie dough is located.
  • You can use your own favorite sugar cookie dough recipe if you prefer.
  • Don’t over-bake the sugar cookie base. You don’t want the edges to be too brown.
  • If you don’t enjoy peanut butter, then just leave it out. This recipe will still work.
  • These bars will be easiest to remove if you line the baking dish with parchment paper first. In a pinch, you can just spray the pan with nonstick baking spray (I like the kind with flour in it – like Baker’s Joy.)
