Butter

"I can't believe it's butter!"

- Wilson

Butter is a rare Dairy Food item dropped by Butterflies (2% chance). It is an ingredient in the Crock Pot Recipe for Waffles and Ice Cream.

It has an exceptionally long perish time, allowing the player enough time to gather the other ingredients to make either Waffles or Ice Cream(only).

In the Reign of Giants DLC, Butter can be used to make Ice Cream, as it's tagged as a Dairy product.

Trivia

 * Wilson's quote about butter is a reference to "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!"
 * Butter's striped appearance, and the fact that it comes from Butterflies, is most likely a reference to the browser-based MMO Glitch, that ran from 2009 to 2012.
 * Waffles are one of the best healing foods in the game. They are in fact the only renewable food item that heals as much and does not drain sanity.
 * Butter gave 80 research points when used on a Science Machine in the early beta of Don't Starve.
