*This mixture may be stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature. At room temperature, it is very soft and fluffy. From the fridge, it is still spreadable, and softens or melts quickly.

This spread is great for toast, bagels, bread, pancakes, or grilled cheese sandwiches. In fact, I thought the grilled cheese sandwiches were extra crispy when I used this spread instead of plain butter!

This is an easy homemade butter spread. It helps my butter last longer, and I think it tastes pretty much like plain butter does (i.e. it doesn't taste "worse" or different, to me!). After I got past the color (it's white! --and usually spreads are yellow), I've been really enjoying it. My rating: 10/10.

easy on the budget and easier on your heart
This is a great great great way to stop eating margarine and stretches the butter. Love it!

This is a good budget stretcher
I love this idea. Butter can be pretty pricey, so stretching it like this is great. My daughters love that it is always soft and ready to use right out of the refrigerator.

Great spread!
I made this spread a couple of days ago and love it! I will replace my butter in my cupboard and just use this spread recipe from a tub in my fridge. It makes my butter last longer and is easy to spread!
