This ancho chile butter is absolutely over-the-top on grilled corn-on-the-cob.  It is also great on crostinis, or really, anywhere you’d normally use butter. But on corn, that’s where it really shines. This is butter on steroids, with a pretty serious kick to it. Use it lightly or go all-in. It’s the perfect contrast to the yummy sweetness of fresh corn-on-the-cob. If you prefer a sweeter butter for your corn, try my grilled corn with honey butter. Or make ancho chile butter and honey butter and have a little heat and a little sweet!
