This is cool idea and it can conserve energy. Hope you enjoy.

Step 1: What You Need

A small plate
1 stick of butter
1 toothpick
toilet paper
scissors
knife.

Step 2: What You Do First Is

First take your butter and cut a chunk 2 TBSP off. Now poke a hole through the middle with the tooth pick.

Step 3: The Wick Part 1

For the wick tear a piece of toilet paper off of your roll. now cut it in half then cut it in half again. Now you roll it up.

Step 4: The Wick Part 2

Fold the end part slightly and stick the toothpick in now push the wick and toothpick l down in the hole you made early on in the instrucable and remove the toothpick. rub your fingers in the butter and grease the wick.

Step 5: Now You Light It

Hope you enjoyed my instructable. Also the candle burned for about 45 minutes. Please vote for me and see yall later. Bye.

if it is not cheaper than a candle what is the point of this?

[Mysterious_Gal]

Number 1: If the power goes out and you don't have a flashlight or normal candle

Number 2: it smells like butter

Number 3: Because it's fun :)

Hope this answers you're question.

Nice! Does the butter melting make your house smell good?

[Mysterious_Gal]

Yes the area around it smelled really good.

you can do this using shortening like the bricks of Crisco shortening. those burn a long time.

[Wired_Mist]

Hey that's kinda cool; Nice Idea !

Does the air smell like butter afterwards?

[PaleHorseRider]

It does indeed; but that's only if you get the salted version.

For another way of doing so get a can and vegetable oil. Poor the vegetable oil in and get a lid that's over sized or fits good & poke a hole in it big enough to stuff a piece of paper towel or toilet paper in.

If you want it to be scented just get some ectract oil and poor in.
