Butter Boards: Because Bread Deserves Better

Alright, fam, let’s talk butter (the second time, because the Charcuterie Boards has made magic before 😉 ). No, not just any butter—I’m talking about the butter boards that’s been taking the internet by storm. If you’re thinking, “Isn’t that just fancy toast?” well, buckle up, because it’s so much more.

Picture this—everyone’s standing around, sipping wine, and then she brings out this wooden board slathered with the most decadent butter, topped with edible flowers, and a drizzle of chili oil. It was love at first sight!

And let me tell you, the conversation went from “How’s work?” to “OMG, what’s on this butter?!” in about 2.5 seconds. Trust me, this is the ultimate crowd-pleaser, and it’s so easy to make. Let’s get into it!
