Are you looking for an easy recipe that will wow your family and friends? I mean, who isn’t looking for that kind of miracle recipe?! Well, guess what friends? We have the BEST recipe for you today. This Honey Butter Recipe is nothing short of amazing! 

The first time I made this honey butter I was in charge of rolls for Thanksgiving dinner. My brother-in-law, who was hosting dinner, is a pretty great cook so I felt a little pressure to bring something amazing. I wanted to step up my roll game a notch. I did not want to show up with only butter for the rolls, so the addition of honey was the perfect solution.

You guys, it was a huge hit! Even my picky, almost professional chef, brother-in-law was impressed with my homemade honey butter and kept going back for more. As a result, it has been my unofficial, official assignment every year since! 

The cinnamon and honey mixed in with the butter almost make it taste like dessert on a roll. It is super easy to make and can be whipped together in 5 minutes. If you show up anywhere with this homemade honey butter it will be the talk of the dinner party!
