Brown the butter. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat mixing frequently with a spatula until melted. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides for even browning. The butter will foam up a bit then subside and amber brown specs will appear with a nutty aroma. Once you see the brown bits, remove from the heat to slightly cool.

Melt the white chocolate. Pour the browned butter over the white chocolate let it sit for a minute and then stir until the chocolate is melted. Set aside to lightly cool.
