| Recipe, what would you do? I am making mini cranberry orange muffins for an association meeting and holiday party on Saturday. The recipe calls for butter. I don't generally eat butter, so I'm not sure I want to buy a whole box and use only part. Do you think I would be okay using margarine or should I use the butter? These mini muffins can tend to get dry really fast. Thanks for your opinions!

| I've been cooking for 34 years, and yes, you can substiute the margarine for butter. I've just started using real butter, after son in law told me some stuff about margarine. The recipe will be fine and you won't know the difference. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Well, you will have lots of people who say there's no difference, but I think there's a difference, at one time margarine was suppose to be better for you, but they found out that the process they use to solidify the oil, makes it worse for you than real butter. You can buy butter in two stick packages, and did you know that you can freeze butter, without any loss in flavor? Also, you could use the remaining butter to make Christmas cookies, and send me one.

| I think it tastes the same. If you don't plan on using the other sticks, I wouldn't buy it.

| When you're using it to bake, there is no difference. I just made 2 batches of cookies, the first batch were with margarine, as I had some to finish up, the 2nd batch was with butter, there is no flavor what so ever in the flavor of the cookies...Also, I have always bought 5-6 boxes of margarine/butter at a time and frozen it, it never took away the flavor of the margarine. I would still be using margarine now, if son in law wouldn't have told me some stuff on margarine. He said if you leave it out and there are flies out, they won't even come near it. something to do with plastic.. |
