what to do with 2+ pounds of butter patties? (lemmy.ml)

I mean those little foil wrapped squares of butter, maybe 10 grams each, like you get with your dinner roll at a restaurant. Because reasons, I have 100+ of those things in the freezer. I use a square or two now and then but I'm not big into butter most of the time.

What's something I can do with this butter? That probably means cook or bake something, as I expect the local Goodwill won't take it. I doubt that a food bank would take it either, though maybe that's worth a try (any idea)? I have a pressure cooker (instant pot) and an oven/range but not much cooking gear.

Thanks for any suggestions. Funny ones are fine.

learn to make parathas
beurre blanc, hollandaise or other sauces
make compound butter and freeze.
plenty of patisserie uses shittons of butter.

You could make ghee if you want to store it for later.
That is if it's real butter.
I hear in the US that is often not the case.
