Candle Supplies

6 Small Ramekins
30 inches Cotton Kitchen Twine
6 Wooden Skewers

Directions:

In a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl, combine all the ingredients. Microwave until butter has completely melted. Whisk the mixture for about 1 minute to incorporate all flavors.
Pour a teaspoon of the butter mixture into your small ramekins to use as a setting agent for the twine wick. Place cowboy butter mixture into the fridge until it reaches a thicker (but not solid consistency). This will prevent any of the ingredients from seeping to the bottom while setting.
Cut six small strings of twine, roughly 5 inches long. Secure the bottom half of twine in the butter at the bottom of a ramekin. With the remaining twine, pull straight up from the middle of the ramekin, and loop around a wooden skewer. Level the pen or skewer across the rim of the ramekin to ensure your wick will set center and straight. Repeat this process across all ramekins. Place in refrigerator to set.
Once the butter has reached a creamier consistency and can hold the herbs and spices throughout, you can fill your ramekins with the butter.
Flatten and smooth the surface of the butter without covering or burying the wick. Set ramekins in fridge until solid, about 4 hours.
Light your butter candles 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite toasted bread. Use a butter knife to scoop and spread over freshly toasted bread. Enjoy!
