Today in food hacks nobody asked for ...
Nobody is willing to do things the simple way anymore and butter is the latest casualty.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with making a little bit of toast, spreading butter on it and letting it melt.
But what if the butter was a candle, and you lit the candle to melt the butter, and you dipped the toast into the candle instead?
That's what TikTok users are up to these days
@sooziethefoodie has posted a tutorial on the platform showing you how to make them:

It goes without saying, but you'll probably want to use an 'edible wick', with some users suggesting it could be made out of herbs.
Ok, it's novel, maybe even a bit cool.
But is it seriously worth all the effort?
Maybe if the butter was cheese, it would remind us of an upmarket Italian restaurant.
It seems to have been well received online though, with commenters saying:
"I have been uninspired to make ANYTHING for months but this makes me ✨feel✨ something."
"I just imagined this but as a cheese stick. and it becomes ✨melted cheese✨."
"This is COOL ? I definitely would do this!!"
"I was about to pay $30 for this at a high end restaurant in Chicago ? ty so much for this!"
