I do this also, all the little sauces and gravies and toppings and dips are
sometimes better on some other than on the intended dish!  Sometimes they are
so good, that any excuse to get more in your mouth is appropriate!

Besides, on Halloween night, the more garlic the better. Keeps all sorts of
scary things far away from you!

I took home more than a pound of that garlic butter. It has gotten better
through the week as the garlic has permeated it. The herb butter referenced by
Genevia was indeed mild and hasn't improved with age. I usually use fresh
parsley, even if some other herbs are dried, but they used entirely dried
herbs.  The chicken served at Celtic New Year Massacre would have been twice
as wonderful if they had used fresh rather than dried parsley.  

Bonne - - off to make some garlic toast for a snack!
