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.

I would mix with fresh dill/parsley or other greens, some salt and pepper,then spread on bread or boiled potatoes 🥔. Yummy.
I make caramel if I find butter in promotion.
