Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: 8x the tastiest butters to make yourself.

The All Things Butter series by the British Thomas Straker is perhaps one of the biggest hits on the internet in recent times. In his videos on Instagram, he shows how to easily make the most delicious types of butter in no time. From sweet chocolate coffee caramel butter to roasted chicken skin butter; these are our favorites.

With now more than 40 different recipes under his belt, Thomas knows better than anyone how to transform a stick of butter into a flavor bomb. Additionally, the great thing about the videos is that they are easy to follow. For each butter you make, you need a blender (a hand mixer works too) and a 250-gram pack of unsalted butter at room temperature. You simply add the other ingredients one by one, mix for a bit, and your homemade butter is ready!
