Love Hot Sauce? We Have Some Condiments For You to Try
So many new ways to add heat to your meal.

The combo of spicy and sweet has been around for a while, but this honey takes it to a whole new level. Mike’s Hot Honey is the perfect balance of sticky, sweet honey and hot chili peppers. But beware — this stuff is highly addictive. Elevate melty grilled cheese, pepperoni pizza or even ice cream by cascading this golden goodness on top. Or, try using it as a replacement for simple syrup or agave in any cocktail for the perfect spicy twist. Spicy margarita, anyone?

Raspberries and jalapeños probably aren’t your first thought when you imagine the satisfying combo of sweet and heat. But this unexpected blend is sure to be your next jam.

Check out Eliot’s website for more spicy nut butters including Spicy Thai Peanut Butter and Honey Chipotle Peanut Butter.
