You can easily make honey butter by combining softened butter (must be completely softened, but not melted) and honey.  Beat in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer.

Start with ½ C. softened butter (1 cube) and 1/2 C. honey and add more honey as desired for sweetness.  (Probably closer to 2/3 C.  I measure out the 1/2 C.  honey then just add more honey a little at a time until it tastes the way I want.)

Do not use melted butter...it needs to be softened butter.  And it needs to be 100% softened.  If it is not softened, it will make little lumps of butter in the honeybutter.

Once it is mixed, it is best if you can let it set up in the fridge until it is a little stiffer, but you can serve it immediately if needed.
