In a large saucepan, melt honey and peanut butter over medium low to medium heat. Sprinkle in salt if using.
Cook to the point of just bubbling and well combined*.

*(NOTE: Reduce or remove from heat if the bottom of the saucepan browns-on too much. Continue stirring before returning to lower heat.)
