Homemade herbed butter is one of the easiest and most satisfying condiments to make. You can use most herbs (try rosemary, basil, parsley) and store it in the freezer or fridge until it’s ready to be used. The ice cube shapes make it readily available in your cooking and there are endless possibilities to use your herb butter (read below).

Love this idea so gonna try it:)
Yes! It’s so easy and you can use them for so many different recipes.
Have made garlic butter before, apart from the things that have been suggested i also use it on shops own garlic bread and occasionally melt some over a pizza whilst it’s cooking and pushing some under the skin of a chicken during cooking is also quite nice
I like the idea of melting over pizza and the chicken skin idea sounds amazing. Thanks for commenting, Sandra 🙂
