Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the garlic cloves in foil and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until soft and caramelized. Allow them to cool once done.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened butter.
Finely chop the chipotle peppers and mash the roasted garlic into a smooth paste. Add both to the butter.
Add the lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix everything together thoroughly with a spoon or hand mixer until well combined.
Place the butter mixture onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll it tightly into a log shape and twist the ends to seal.
Refrigerate the butter log for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.
Slice and serve as needed. Store leftover butter in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
