7 x butter snacks

Butter: we can’t imagine life without it. Sometimes our love for butter goes so far that it’s the star of a product. So here’s an overview of seven butter snacks.

Butter-flavoured KitKat

That Japan is one of our favourite countries when it comes to food should be clear. With this snack, Japan has stolen our hearts once again. The butter-flavoured KitKat is available at the KitKat Chocolatory in Hokkaido (in Japan, that is), where the butter-flavoured bar sits on the shelf among countless other special flavours. We like.

Fried butterstick

Yes, really: deep-fried butter. We’re mainly fascinated by this snack; whether it’s actually delicious is debatable. After one bite, your fat intake for the coming month will at least be taken care of. Here’s how to make this calorie bomb:

Bullet proof coffee (butter coffee)

Coffee with butter. Quite a fuss has arisen around this trend, which started in America. It’s supposed to keep you focused for hours and even help you lose kilos. A healthy snack, then? Our common sense tells us that butter is simply incredibly fatty and that your caffeine boost doesn’t become any healthier by stirring a knob of butter into it. Your cup of coffee does become creamy, of course, and we love that.

Arretjescake

A cold, typically Dutch no-bake cake made with biscuits, sugar, eggs and butter. Lots and lots of butter. Here’s how to make it:

Butter cake

A flat cake that always leaves a greasy layer on your fingers. In this video, baking king Cees Holtkamp explains in painstaking detail in ten minutes how to bake a classic butter cake.

Hawaiian butter mochi

A tropical snack from the Pacific with coconut milk, mochiko (rice flour) and butter. Gooey, rich and delicious.

Butter mints

Rich and refreshing at the same time. A seemingly crazy combination, but when you put one of these sweets in your mouth, you’ll understand exactly what we mean.
