INSTRUCTIONS:
- Add your butter to a blender with your garlic. Blend until smooth and well combined; about 1-2 mintues.
- Pierce a hole in the bottom of your plastic cup. Stick your wick through so that at least 1 inch is visible outside of the cup. Pour in your butter mixture then transfer to the fridge to set for an hour.
- Cut a hole, a little wider than your plastic cup in your loaf of bread for the butter candle to rest. Try not to cut through the bottom of the bread loaf.
- Remove your cup from the fridge and cut the plastiic cup off of the formed butter . Place the candle down in the center of the loaf , cutting the wick down to about 1/2 of an inch. Light and let melt.
- Use the bread to dip into the melted butter.
