Kiss of Death isn't merely spicy candy. It has an insane level of heat with three times the concentration of Carolina Reapers, Ghost Peppers, and red chili flake used in Kiss of Fire. This is the bag people buy because they have something to prove.
Beneath the fire is the same peanut-rich brittle base we cook low and slow for a light, crumbly texture. It begins deceptively sweet, with familiar peanut and caramelized-sugar flavor. That moment does not last.
The pepper heat hits immediately and keeps climbing. Carolina Reapers and Ghost Peppers deliver a deep, aggressive burn, while red chili flake adds an immediate sharp edge. Rated 5 out of 5 on our heat scale, Kiss of Death was created primarily as a novelty candy for committed pepperheads and fearless people who want to experience something genuinely extreme.
This is not Kiss of Fire with slightly more spice. It contains three times the pepper concentration.
Why Kiss of Death Earned Its Name
- It begins with our tender Soft Peanut Brittle, creating a dangerously innocent first impression.
- Carolina Reapers and Ghost Peppers produce an extreme, lingering burn that continues developing after the first bite.
- Three times the pepper concentration of Kiss of Fire takes this beyond ordinary spicy candy and into challenge-level territory.
- The quarter-pound bag gives adventurous customers enough to test themselves, share cautiously, or torment that one friend who claims nothing is ever hot enough.
How to Approach Kiss of Death
- Begin with a very small piece. Do not judge the final heat during the first few seconds.
- Let the burn develop fully before deciding whether to take another bite.
- Share it with serious pepper enthusiasts who understand what Carolina Reapers and Ghost Peppers can do.
- Keep a cold drink nearby, although you may want something dairy-based once the heat takes hold.

SHIPPING OPTIONS
COOLER SEASON:
we offer flat rate economy shipping of $11-15 (1-3lbs, by zones), plus other options indexed in real-time to the USPS
and UPS rate tables. READ THE FULL ADVISORY on the shipping page during checkout, as there are no refunds for melted candy sent via economy shipping.
WARM SEASON:
During warmer months where confections will melt in transit, the best
shipping option is insulated cold-packed UPS 2nd Day Air.
Obviously,
it's a higher shipping cost, but we want your confections to arrive as
pretty as they left our doors. To avoid our confections melting in transit over a weekend, cold pack shipments are sent out MONDAY-WEDNESDAY ONLY.
Shipping note for orders with ONLY SOFT PEANUT BRITTLE: If
you are wanting to order ONLY soft peanut brittle (no other flavors of brittle, no chocolates or toffees)
these CAN go via regular economy ground shipping methods, as soft
brittle is a more heat stable, and while it will soften at temps in the
80's and 90's, it won't completely melt. IT WILL GET SOFT above around
90 degrees, but if left at room temperature upon unboxing it will regain
its (slightly) firmer consistency again. So if you wish to get ONLY
soft brittle but you live in a warmer region where our checkout system
defaults to the more expensive cold-pack methods, please contact us and
we can facilitate an order for you with the lower-cost shipping options.
Orders normally ship within 2 business days.
