Hot Honey Butter
You will need:

- 2 to 3 tablespoons Spice Witch Hot Honey
- Pinch of flaky salt
- 1 teaspoon Spice Witch Spicy Honey Chili Crisp, for crunch (optional)
What you do:

- Add the hot honey and salt and beat again until smooth. Taste and add more honey if you want more heat.
- Fold in the chili crisp if you're using it.
- Pile it into a small bowl, add one last zigzag of hot honey on top, and serve at room temperature.
What to put it on: dinner rolls, cornbread, biscuits, sweet potatoes, roasted carrots, and the leftover turkey sandwich the next day.
Why this works
Butter is rich, and honey cuts it. Spice Witch Hot Honey is real honey (not syrup, not concentrate) with chili flakes, coriander, fennel, black pepper and garlic. The spices stay in the bottle, so you get warmth and a little savory depth, not just sugar. Add the Spicy Honey Chili Crisp and you get the crunch too. Two products is the ultimate cheat code.
FAQ
Can I make hot honey butter ahead of Thanksgiving?
Yes. Make it up to a week ahead and keep it covered in the fridge. Let it sit out for 30 minutes before serving so it spreads.
Should I use salted or unsalted butter?
Salted. The salt balances the honey. If all you have is unsalted, add an extra pinch of flaky salt.
Is hot honey butter spicy?
It's a gentle, warm heat. Start with 2 tablespoons of hot honey and add more to taste.
What's the difference between hot honey butter and regular honey butter?
Regular honey butter is just sweet. Hot honey butter has chili and spices in it, so it's sweet, warm and a little savory. More on that in Hot Honey vs. Regular Honey.
Can I shape it into a log?
Yes. Roll it in parchment, chill it for an hour and slice it into coins. They look fancy and take no effort.
