Note

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. The mix may lose some crispness over time.

Variations: For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.

Tip: If you don't have fresh garlic, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, but fresh pressed garlic offers a superior aroma.

Serving: This mix is best served at room temperature. It makes a great addition to any charcuterie board or game day spread.
