Ingredients

1 cup Land O Lakes® Unsalted Butter softened to room temperature
3 tbsp milk
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh herbs parsley, green onions, and rosemary
2 garlic cloves minced
flaky sea salt to taste
2 tbsp blackberry or strawberry jam
Baguette slices breadsticks, or crackers, for serving

Instructions

Whip the butter. Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and milk on medium-high speed for 4–7 minutes, until pale, light, and fluffy.
Add the flavor. Gently fold in the fresh herbs, minced garlic, and flaky sea salt until combined.
Shape the ghost. Transfer the whipped butter to a piping bag (or ziplock bag if you don't have a piping bag). On a clean serving board or platter, pipe the outline of a ghost, then fill in the center with the remaining butter. Smooth with a spatula as needed.
Add the eyes. Spoon small amounts of blackberry or strawberry jam onto the butter to create the ghost's eyes.
Serve. Arrange baguette slices, breadsticks, and crackers around the ghost and enjoy!

Notes

Food safety note: Because this recipe contains dairy and fresh garlic, keep it refrigerated until shortly before serving and don't leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
