Butt Rub Popcorn
Looking for a new twist to the same old popcorn? It doesn't get much easier than this to add a lot of flavor to classic snack. Next time you make some popcorn, simply sprinkle a little Butt Rub on it. If you are not familiar with Butt Rub, it is a two-time award winning BBQ Rub and Seasoning from Bad Byron's in Florida. I promise it will give your evening snack an entirely different flavor.

How to Make Habanero Cornbread with Ass Kickin' Cornbread Mix
Looking to spice up your next batch of cornbread? It doesn't get much easier to make some Cornbread with heat than using the Ass Kickin' cornbread mix. The ingredients include jalapeno peppers and a package of habanero powder.
We recently made some Ass Kickin' Cornbread. Everything but the dairy products are included in the kit. Be warned in advance...when using the habanero powder this is some "hot cornbread"!
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup butter
- Ass Kickin' Cornbread kit which includes the cornbread mix (ingredients include Cornmeal, Flour, Baking Powder, Whole Corn, Onion, Jalapeno, Red Bell Pepper, Salt) and a separate packet of habanero pepper powder.
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Using butter, grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
- Combine milk, eggs and corn bread mix. Stir about 30 seconds until mixture is smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Melt butter.
- Spread batter into pan and pour melted butter over the top of the bread mix.
- Bake 50 - 60 minutes or until loaf is golden brown.
My favorite way to eat cornbread is with beans. We paired-up the Ass Kickin' Habanero Cornbread with a bowl of beans with sausage and ham! Through in a few pickled beats and chow-chow relish and this is a southern meal for a king.
One word of advice. Wait to put the hot sauce on your beans. The cornbread packs a lot of heat from the habanero peppers. I made the mistake of generously applying the hot sauce on the beans before tasting the cornbread. The result was heat coming at me from every angle!
Habanero Honey Vanilla Ice Cream
We are already having 80+ degree days in North Florida and summer is just around the corner. Looking for a cool, soothing dessert?
People have been enjoying chilled desserts as far back as the Persian Empire. As early as the 10th century, ice cream was popular in many Arab cities, including Baghdad, Damascus, and Cairo. These days, ice cream is available in just about every imaginable flavor and the toppings are almost endless.
Today, we've got something a little different that you may not have tried. For years we have used pepper jelly as a topping on ice cream. There is something about the sweet and the heat. We may have discovered our new favorite ice cream topping - Habanero Honey.

It doesn't get much easier than this....scoop some Vanilla Ice Cream into a bowl. Drizzle a little Chocolate Ganache and Habanero Honey
over your ice cream. The sweet from the honey and contrasting heat
from the Habanero Pepper really had a whole new flavor dimension.
Simple bowl, simple ice cream, complex, incredible flavor!

Infused Honey At Armadillo Pepper
Beehive Alchemy takes Wisconsin Clover Honey and then infuses the honey with different flowers, spices and peppers.
These are some of the most interesting honeys you will find anywhere. The infused honeys are the result of months of mixing, waiting, and sampling until the right flavor intensity has been reached. Each infusion is accomplished "cold" - meaning no heat is applied to speed up the infusion process. As a result all of the health benefits are still in the honey.
There are four Honey Infusions flavors:
- Vanilla Bean Infused Honey - This honey is infused with pure Madagascar Vanilla Beans. You will taste the mild vanilla flavor immediately, followed by the silky, sweet, clover honey. This one is awesome drizzled over a warm chocolate chip muffin, or pound cake and also adds natural sweetness to tea.
- Lavender Blossoms Infused Honey - For this honey, you first taste the clover honey and then the mild hint of lavender blossoms. This honey is an obvious addition to any tea. Very versatile, you can try this on a biscuit, toast or with bagels and cream cheese.
- Rose Bud Infused Honey - Here again, you will first taste the delicious clover honey, then followed by the subtle rose buds. Another obvious choice for any tea. This infused honey also is a wonderful complement over a fruit salad or drizzled over goat cheese with a nice pepper cracker.
- Habanero Infused Honey - Being a pepper head, this honey is extremely interesting. Upon your initial taste, you will savor the flavor of sweet, clover honey. You almost think they forgot to infuse it with habanero pepper, but 5 to 7 seconds later you start to taste the habanero. On a scale to 1 to 10, I would say the heat is about a three. This honey pairs nicely with Grilled Chicken Wings or Chicken Breasts as a glaze. This honey is equally appetizing drizzled lightly over beef or pork. We've already tried this one as a topper on ice cream. Another excellent pairing, as the cold of the vanilla ice cream and the mild heat of the habanero are a totally new experience.
Honey Infusions are truly unique. Each is so flavorful, you immediately start looking for ways to consume these honeys.
Each Honey Infusion is packaged in a 10 ounce square glass jar. The jar opening is large enough for a spoon, but narrow enough if you prefer to pour the honey out. Available individually or the complete set is available as an Infused Honey Gift Basket. Because these are so rare and difficult to find, this Honey Gift Basket makes the perfect gift for the honey lover.
Dough Pretzels and Datil Pepper Mustard
I don't know about you, but around our home there is never enough time to go around. All of the Food Network television shows try to tell us how everything must be made from scratch, but really.....who always has that kind of time?
We've discovered a really simple way to "spice-up" a carnival/festival favorite - the salted dough (or soft) pretzel. In less than 5 minutes you can take a long-time favorite snack and elevate the flavor with the simple addition of Datil Pepper Mustard. The bite starts out sweet and then ends with just a little heat from the Datil Pepper.
Just because you can buy 10 different mustard varieties in your local grocery store, do not assume Datil Pepper Mustard is just another off-the-shelf item. With the addition of Onions, Bell Peppers, Vinegar, Datil Peppers, Sugar and Garlic, this is a truly flavorful mustard.
There is no need to make soft pretzels from scratch. You can find frozen SuperPretzels at most supermarkets, including all of the Publix locations here in Florida. Simply, run some water over the frozen pretzel, sprinkle the salt on and then bake for 3 minutes.
It's the Datil Pepper Mustard that sets these simple-to-make pretzels apart. So, the next time you are in the market for pretzels, just remember that all mustard is not alike!
Quick, simple and really tasty. Perfect for casual appetizers or just a snack.
Dat's Nice Mango Datil Pepper Sauce Review
Every now and then you come across a hot sauce that's more than a "hot sauce". Dat's Nice Mango Datil Pepper Sauce is a hot sauce, a dipping sauce, a marinade and a BBQ Sauce.
This is a hot sauce with many different uses. It's complete with mango flavor and then a hint of Datil Pepper at the end. We recently grilled some chicken and used Dat's Nice Mango Datil Pepper Sauce as the finishing sauce.
The first ingredient on this sauce's label is Mango. Also included are Pineapple Juice, Sea Salt, Garlic Molasses and Datil Pepper. Before you even taste this sauce, this ingredient list has you wanting to try it!
The first flavor to hit your tongue from the succulent chicken is the sweetness of the mango. Then you get a little of the pineapple tang followed by just a hint of Datil pepper bite. It's just hot enough to let you know you've eaten some spice but, not so hot the "sissies" in your family won't enjoy it too.
The history behind Dat's Nice sauces says it all in the name. The "Dat's" kind of rolls right off the tongue just like the wonderful taste from the Datil Peppers that are indigenous to the St. Augustine, Florida area. The "Nice", well that's how you feel after eating the sauce on just about anything. Dat's Nice!
If you are looking for a nice flavor addition to your next meal of baked or grilled chicken, then we recommend you give Dat's Nice Mango Datil Pepper Sauce a try.

Hurricane Hot Sauce Key Lime Datil Pepper Jelly Review
A fairly recent pepper jelly entry into the spicy jelly market is Key West Style Key Lime Datil Pepper Jelly from Hurricane Hot Sauce.
Once you taste this pepper jelly, you quickly move past the thin consistency and understand where this tasty pepper jelly plays. The first impression on your palate is the tart but sweet key lime. There is an immediate sweet, almost candy-like flavor and then a subtle heat on the finish from the Datil Pepper. You quickly understand where this pepper jelly fits in your arsenal of specialty condiments.
Key West Key Lime Datil Pepper Jelly excels as a glaze on baked ham (try this instead of pineapple), pork, chicken and quail. For us, it is not a good fit for a biscuit or toast due to the texture. On the other hand, this pepper jelly is awesome as a topping on vanilla ice cream. Like most pepper jellies, we found that it pairs nicely as a topping on cream cheese or you can also mix this pepper jelly with cream cheese in your blender as a spread on crackers. The flavor is very "key lime" and tasty.
On a heat scale, this pepper jelly is mild. The Datil Pepper (which is sweeter than a Habanero Pepper, but just slightly less hot) is felt at the very end. You are almost on the second bite before you start to feel the Datil.
For the key lime lover, Key West Style Key Lime Datil Pepper Jelly is a must try. I can tell you that we've found a place in our "frig" for this one.
Made in St. Augustine, Florida by Steve Underwood and Mike Adams at Hurricane Hot Sauce.
Ingredients: Corn Syrup, Sugar, Water, Vinegar, Key Lime Juice, Datil Peppers and Pectin.
Dat's Nice Datil Pepper Sauces
St. Augustine and its Datil Pepper have launched a Datil Pepper cottage industry in the region. So, what is so special about the Datil? The Datil Pepper quickly becomes a favorite of anyone who enjoys wonderful flavor and a bit of spice. Technically speaking, the Datil Pepper ranges from 100,000 to 300,000 Scoville units, just slightly less hot than the more infamous Habanero Pepper.
The really distinguishing factor is the sweetness. The Datil Pepper now only packs the heat, but it has a nice sweet flavor. That is why so many tourists that visit America's oldest city come to love the Datil Pepper Sauces.
Dat's Nice is one of the latest entries to the Datil Sauce market. Joe Stewart and his team over at Dat's Nice have created some really awesome tasting sauces. Flavor first, then the Datil heat. Everything from steak, chicken and ribs to wild rice and eggs are enhanced by these sauces.
These guys have rolled-out 4 sauces:
- Dat's Nice Datil Pepper BBQ Sauce - flavorful blend of Datil Pepper, honey and brown sugar based BBQ sauce. This BBQ Sauce pairs well with Ribs, Pork Chops and Chicken
- Dat's Nice Datil Pepper Hot Sauce - There is nothing that I can think of where you can use this sauce. A mild, very flavorful hot sauce.
- Dat's Nice Datil Pepper Mango Sauce - There are lots of Mango Habanero sauces on the market, but this might be the 1st Datil Mango sauce. This one's wonderful on chicken, Caribbean rice and pork chops.
- Dat's Nice Datil Pepper Chickin Dippin Sauce - This may be another first. Datil Pepper and mustard based sauce.
Perfect BBQ Sauce for chicken, pulled pork or ribs. Also, awesome as a wing sauce.
You know what they say over at Dat's Nice.....Dat's Nice Datil Pepper Sauce is not the original...It's not world famous...It's Just Awesome!
Available at Armadillo Pepper.
