Storage and Reheating Tips
If you find yourself with any leftover cinnamon honey butter (which is unlikely!), you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just make sure to let it come back to room temperature before serving again, as it’ll harden in the fridge. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
Helpful Cooking Tips
To get the best flavor and texture from your cinnamon honey butter, make sure your butter is fully softened. Cold butter won’t blend well and could leave you with a lumpy spread. You can also choose to adjust the cinnamon and honey levels based on your personal taste, making it as sweet or spiced as you like. For a little extra flair, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract!
Creative Twists
Want to shake things up a bit? Try adding orange zest for a refreshing citrus note, or swap in a different spice like nutmeg for a unique flavor profile. You could also mix in some finely chopped nuts for a delightful crunch or use flavored honey to add a special touch. For a fun twist, consider making it spiced with gingerbread spices during the holiday season!

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?
Yes, you can absolutely use salted butter, but it’s advisable to omit any additional salt in the recipe to prevent the spread from becoming overly salty.
What if I don’t have powdered sugar?
