  1. This butter is delicious. DH and I love Pepperidge Farms garlic toast and my DH said today that this is ten times better and I have to agree. The only thing I added was minced garlic. Its very simple to make. I'm going to put some in the ice trays as mentioned too. I can't wait to try on meats and other foods. Thanks for sharing this delicious butter Carla! It's Yummy! :)
