4 tablespoons Butter This adds richness and ensures the corn doesn’t stick during cooking.
3 tablespoons Honey Sweetens the dish, perfectly balancing the savory butter flavor.
16 ounces Frozen Corn The star ingredient! Its natural sweetness transforms this into comfort food.
4 ounces Cream Cheese Provides a luxuriously creamy mouthfeel; consider dairy-free cream cheese for a vegan alternative.

1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley or Chives Adds a pop of color and freshness for visual appeal.
Black Pepper or Crushed Red Pepper Flakes Introduces a gentle hint of spice to balance the sweetness of the dish.

Begin by heating a medium skillet over medium heat. Add butter and let it melt until it fully coats the bottom, creating a luscious base.
Next, stir in the honey, allowing it to blend with the warm butter. You'll know it's ready when the mixture is fragrant and slightly bubbly.
Add frozen corn to the skillet, stirring continuously for about 5–7 minutes. Cook until the corn is heated through and tender, turning a vibrant yellow.
Lower the heat to low, then add cream cheese. Gently stir until it melts seamlessly into the corn mixture, creating a creamy texture.
Allow the dish to simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will ensure everything is well combined and warm throughout.
Serve the Honey Butter Skillet Corn hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives for added color. If you like a bit of spice, sprinkle black pepper or red pepper flakes on top.

Optional: Drizzle a little extra honey before serving for an extra sweet touch.
