Garlic Herb Butter Candle
Candles made of butter? Genius! This interactive appetizer is not only a fun and easy recipe that can be made with the kids, but it is one that will also have guests oohing and ahhing- perfect for any holiday gathering. Get creative with it by offering different types of bread, creating various candle heights or maybe experimenting with flavors like smoked sea salt or truffle.
Every time my boys are at a restaurant that serves bread, they always ask for extra butter and slather it on like a dip. In most cases, I remind them that the butter is to complement the bread, not to be the star of the show. However, when I served this butter candle, it was game on. They could sop up as much as they wanted without any discussions on healthy eating or table manners, which usually gets me an eye-roll or two.
The warmer the candle gets, the more you want to grab another piece and dip in the melty goodness again. It is more addicting than your favorite Italian eatery’s garlic bread sticks. If you are looking for a candle that gives you a calming Zen vibe, this is not your candle. This edible candle is perfect for that holiday ‘pour some good red wine, gather with friends and family and break bread together’ type of feeling.
Cheers!
