Stacey's (CMO) FavoriteBringing that Midwest HeatHoney Habanero
Looking for that bacon to kick the heat up just a notch? A combination of locally sourced Honey and the finest dried Habanero peppers light up your taste buds with just a bit of heat.
*We recommend NOT pan frying indoors since the habanero will release. Instead, use the oven method, or on your outdoor griddle on a day when your least favorite neighbor is down wind.
