    While this viral Tik Tok butter board recipe is popular, it is also delicious! It takes less than 5 minutes to make and can easily be customized to your liking.

    I love that you can make your butter board sweet, savory or both. With honey, fresh herbs and spices, you get a delicious appetizer in minutes.

    By now, you have probably heard of or seen the viral recipe that is a BUTTER BOARD on social media. You may have even seen variations of the butter board. 

    I have seen peanut butter boards, other nut butter boards, yogurt boards and hummus boards. There has even been some ridiculous boards that don’t work in an attempt just to make fun of this trend. 

    Like cheese boards, this soft butter board trend is a fun way and new way to enjoy warm bread without the butter knife. You can easily use a cutting board, wooden board or even something special during the holiday season to make this appetizer. It may be the best thing since sliced crusty bread at dinner parties.

    Viral Tik Tok Butter Board ingredients

    Ingredients needed

    • Good quality butter – I like using Kerrygold butter with it’s rich yellow color and smooth taste. It is Irish and so delicious!
    • Honey – We recommend local honey from small farms if you can find it. Really, any honey will do though. Even, flavored versions like orange honey.
    • Fresh Mint – This herb adds to much freshness to this recipe! You can also use another herb like rosemary or basil if you like those better.
    • Chili Oil – While a bite goes a long way, I love that this chili oil adds another depth of flavor and spice that really rounds everything out
    • Flaky Sea Salt – Flaky sea salt really is the icing on the cake if you will!

    Ways to Enjoy

    Like many of our charcuterie boards, this butter board is a great appetizer. It is wonderful with fresh gluten-free or regular bread and crackers.

    I love using it for my gluten free crescent rolls, smeared on our Hawaiian slider rolls or ham and turkey sandwiches. Or really, any of our other gluten-free sandwiches.

    And guess what? You can even smear it on gluten-free sourdough bread and gluten-free sourdough crescent rolls. It is also fantastic on our gluten free garlic bread or gluten-free biscuits (Fluffy Buttermilk).
