- honey - I like to use local honey whenever possible

Optional ingredients: pinch of red pepper flakes, chopped parsley for garnish.
⭐Ang's Recipe Tips
✔️ You can substitute frozen corn, but you may need to cook the honey butter and corn mixture for a few extra minutes to help remove the excess moisture and heat the corn throughout.
✔️ I don't recommend microwaving cream cheese to soften it. Instead, cut it into small pieces before you start cooking and set it on the stove top near your warm burner to help soften more quickly.
🍲 Storage
To Store: Leftover honey buttered corn in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. (These are my favorite airtight containers for leftovers.)
To Reheat: Microwave individual portions in 30 second intervals until heated throughout.
Slow Cooker Method
This recipe can be made in a slow cooker, which is really helpful for holidays. Here's how:
- Add the butter, honey, corn, and seasonings to the crockpot.
- Cover and set on low for 1 hour.
- Just before serving, mix in the cream cheese.
- Garnish with fresh herbs as desired.
