Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce, finely chopped (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional, for a zesty kick)

Instructions
 

Soften the Butter: Start by leaving the unsalted butter out at room temperature for about an hour or until it's very soft. This will make it easier to mix with the other ingredients.

    Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter, honey, finely chopped chipotle in adobo sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. If you want a little extra tang, add the fresh lime juice as well.

      Mix Well: Using a hand mixer or a spatula, beat the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

        Taste Test: Before finalizing, taste the mixture. Feel free to adjust the chipotle or honey depending on whether you prefer it smokier or sweeter.

          Transfer to Container: Spoon the smoky chipotle honey butter into a small serving bowl or an airtight container. If you're feeling fancy, you can shape it into a log using plastic wrap.

            Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This will also firm up the butter slightly, making it easier to spread.

              Serve: Once chilled, your Smoky Chipotle Honey Butter is ready to be served! Spread it generously on toast, muffins, corn on the cob, grilled meats, or even use it as a drizzle over roasted veggies for a delicious twist.
