Butter does not have a definite melting point because it is an example of an amorphous solids, and amorphous solids have non uniform attractive forces between the particles. Therefore the particles of the butter will not all melt together but rather the melting will happen gradually. Having a mixture of particles where some areas are going to have strong forces of bonds and other weak forces of bonds. The weak forces will over come first and later the strong forces will overcome, and that is how butter melts.
