If you’re a BIG social media junkie you may remember the Butter Candle phenomenon that swept the internet for a couple hours a few years back. If you don’t, no worries, it’s coming back around.
A woman on TikTok is reminding the internet that it’s almost fall, so everyone should start planning their Butter Candles.
Basically, you just freeze butter into a mold with a wick. Then, when you are having a gathering, you can put out a sourdough roll with a notch cut out of the middle for the frozen “butter candle.”
Then you light it, and buttered bread is coming your way
There are a lot of SHAKEN people in the comments, so here are a few clarifications:
For starters, you should use a “food-grade wick,” which is made from “hemp coated in beeswax.” They’re fairly common, you can get them on Amazon. (You won’t actually be consuming a lot of it, but it’s “safe” to eat.)
Also: They don’t show a lot of videos of what this is like to actually EAT. So be prepared for this to LOOK and SOUND awesome, and then be disappointing in reality. Not to mention VERY messy.
The best comment is this: “Maybe I’ll try this instead of drugs.” And someone else said, “You never know what someone’s doing in their house bruh.”
(Here’s the TikTok, and here’s one recipe for how to do the butter, which involves cinnamon. For a savory version, you can do garlic and dry herbs.)
(And here’s a recipe for the sourdough loaf.)
(If you STILL feel like this is just a joke, go ahead and Google it. You’d be surprised how many people are jumping on the bandwagon.)
