Let cool completely. • In a bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped garlic, tomato mixture, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.

Assemble the Butter Flight:
11 Garlic Crunch and Tomato Butter: Fill two molds with the garlic crunch and tomato butter.
12 Dirty Martini Butter: For this, we layer. Add a sprinkle of chives, about 3 slices of the stuffed olives and ⅓ of the butter. Repeat until the butter is gone.
10 Brown Butter and Honey Butter: Place a piece of honeycomb into two clean molds and pipe the brown butter and honey butter around it, filling completely.
9 Goat Cheese and Fig Butter: • Brush the sides of two cube molds lightly with butter and press edible flowers along the sides. • Fill each halfway with butter. Using a spoon, push the butter up along the sides to create a small well in the center. Freeze for 10 minutes to set. • Once set, layer goat cheese and then fig jam in the well until filled.
13 Clean the edges of each cube and refrigerate until fully set. Wrap and place in the gift box, if you would like.
