    In 1-quart saucepan, melt brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of the butter and the honey over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.

    Meanwhile, in small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and remaining 1/4 teaspoon butter uncovered on High 20 to 40 seconds, stirring every 10 seconds, until smooth.
