Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)

1/4 cup honey

1-2 tablespoons chipotle powder (adjust to your spice preference)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Butter: In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter. Make sure it's at room temperature to easily blend with other ingredients.

    Add Sweetness: Pour in the honey over the softened butter. Use a spatula or electric mixer to beat the two together until they are well combined and smooth.

      Spice it Up: Add the chipotle powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt into the butter mixture. Start with 1 tablespoon of chipotle powder and adjust to your desired level of heat later.

        Add Flavor Boosters: Pour in the fresh lime juice to give the mixture a zesty kick. Mix everything together until uniform and creamy.

          Taste Test: Take a small spoonful of the butter and taste it. Adjust sweetness or spice by adding a little more honey or chipotle powder as needed.

            Chill the Butter: Transfer the mixture into a container or mold that you can refrigerate. Smooth out the top and cover with plastic wrap or a lid.

              Refrigerate: Place the container in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm up the butter. Overnight is even better to let the flavors meld.

                Serve: Once the Smoky Chipotle Honey Butter is set, it’s ready to serve! Spread it on warm cornbread, toast, grilled meats, or even drizzled over roasted vegetables.

                  Garnish (Optional): Before serving, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh cilantro for a pop of color and an additional layer of flavor.
