Let’s face it—cooking should be fun, not fussy. And if there’s one ingredient that shows up in everything from breakfast to dessert, it’s butter. That’s where butter hacks come in. No more struggling to slice a cold stick, soften just the right amount, or guess how many tablespoons you’ve hacked off. These clever tricks make working with butter way easier—and way more fun.

Challenge Unsalted Butter Cubes is what makes each of these butter hacks work. Each cube is pre-portioned with exactly 4 tablespoons (or ¼ cup), which means no cutting, no measuring, and no mess. Whether you’re baking a batch of cookies or jazzing up your summer corn on the cob, these cubes are about to be your new kitchen MVP.

Here are five easy butter hacks to try—and don’t forget to grab your $1 printable coupon at the end of this post.

1. No More Measuring or Cutting

Skip the hassle of slicing sticks with a pre-portioned Challenge Butter Cube.

Most recipes call for ¼ cup of butter, and that’s exactly what one cube is. Just unwrap and drop it in your mixing bowl or pan. No sticky knives, no guessing, and no wasted wrappers.

Perfect for: Cookies, brownies, quick breads, or melting for savory dishes.

2. Buttery Scrambled Eggs Butter Hack Shortcut

One butter cube equals perfect scrambled eggs, no cream needed.

Use a full cube to scramble 6 to 8 eggs. The butter makes them rich, velvety, and full of flavor without the need for milk or extra ingredients.

Perfect for: Quick breakfasts or brunch spreads.

3. Freeze in Ice Cube Trays with Add-Ins

Chop up your cubes and freeze them with your favorite flavor add-ins.

Add minced garlic, chili flakes, rosemary, lemon zest, or even a drizzle of maple syrup. Pour into ice cube trays, freeze, and pop one out when you're cooking for an instant flavor boost.

Perfect for: Sautéing veggies, adding to pasta, or tossing into rice.

4. Make Compound Butter for This Simple Butter Hack

Soften a butter cube, stir in herbs or spices, and roll into a log.

Once it’s chilled, you can slice off medallions and use them to top steaks, melt over baked potatoes, or serve with crusty bread. Try combos like garlic and parsley, lemon and dill, or honey and cinnamon. Here is a Blueberry Honey Butter recipe I made years ago that would have been easier to make with these pre-portioned butter cubes from Challenge Butter.

Perfect butter hack for: Dinner parties, BBQs, or meal prep.

5. Corn on the Cob Party Butter Hack (Aka Party Corn)

Melt a cube in a small ramekin or cupcake liner for a mess-free serving station.

Add skewers to cooked corn and let guests dip and spin their own cobs in warm, melted butter. It’s hands-on and way less messy than passing around sticks or trying to slice butter pats.

Perfect for: Summer cookouts, potlucks, and family gatherings.
