Ingredients
Method
Melt the butter (mix in your favourite herbs if desired, see tip) in a large microwave-safe bowl. You can also melt the butter on the stove over low heat. Pour the melted butter into the paper cup along with wick and hold it in place by attaching sticky tape to the wick and the side of the cup, if necessary. Freeze for an hour or until solidified.Â
Meanwhile, cut a whole in a large, round loaf of bread using the same-sized paper cup. To do this, hold the cup upside down in the center of the loaf and cut around the rim, following the knife through the bread to make a large, cup-sized hole in the loaf.Â
Place the same cup inside the whole you created and slice vertically along the sides to create easy pull-apart pieces.
Once the butter is solidified, rip off the paper cup and place the butter in the prepared loaf. Then, light the candle. It will take about 15 minutes before the butter melts however you then use your pull-apart pieces to dip into the melted butter. YUM!
