Butter boards have come and gone, but do you know what will stay with us forever? Butter! So it should come as no surprise that TikTok has discovered yet another butter-related trend for the holidays—butter candles.
Butter candles have been around for a while, but they've been given a new life thanks to TikTok's current fascination with putting butter on display.
Before you excitedly run to the fridge and grab a stick of butter, keep in mind that creating a butter candle isn't quite as simple as smearing a ton of butter on a charcuterie board. And you're quite literally playing with fire, so caution is necessary.
TODAY reports that TikToker @soozythefoodie was among the first to share a butter candle video on the social media app. Her TikTok offered a brief glimpse into what goes into creating a butter candle, which she described as "my favorite thing to make."
In the short TikTok, @soozythefoodie can be seen carefully placing butter around a Raw brand hemp wick, which is food-safe. Once complete, the candle is then lit and smushed with a slice of fresh bread.
The TikTok has since received nearly 200,000 likes and well over 1,000 comments from fellow butter-candle enthusiasts. "I have been uninspired to make ANYTHING for months but this makes me feel something," one user wrote.
