Kiss of Fire begins with the comforting sweetness of our classic Soft Peanut Brittle, then Carolina Reapers, Ghost Peppers, and red chili flake turn up the temperature. The result is a serious but controlled sweet heat, made for people who want their candy to bite back.
Each batch starts with candied Spanish peanuts and a rich sugary base cooked low and slow for our signature light, crumbly texture. Unlike traditional hard brittle, it is tender enough to bite easily and melts gently in your mouth.
At first, you taste familiar peanut-butter sweetness. But the peppers begin to build almost immediately, bringing a deep, lingering heat that balances the candy without completely overwhelming it. We tamed this recipe enough to preserve the flavor, but make no mistake: at 4 out of 5 on our heat scale, Kiss of Fire is still legitimately hot.
Why Kiss of Fire Brings the Sweet Heat
- Our tender Soft Peanut Brittle provides a peanut-forward base that lets you taste the candy before the heat arrives.
- Carolina Reapers and Ghost Peppers deliver an intense, building burn rather than a fleeting burst of spice.
- Red chili flake adds a more immediate pepper heat that helps bridge the sweetness and the slower-burning superhot peppers.
- The recipe has been deliberately balanced so heat lovers can enjoy more than a single novelty bite.
How to Enjoy Kiss of Fire
- Start with one small piece and allow the heat to develop before reaching for another.
- Pair it with a cold beverage or use small crumbles over vanilla ice cream for a sweet, creamy contrast.
- Set it out for adventurous friends and see who comes back for a second piece.
- Give it to the pepperhead in your life who thinks ordinary “spicy” candy is never hot enough.

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.
