Tongue Torching Treats

Feel the Burn With Ghost Pepper Candy

— June 23, 2012 — Lifestyle
You are going to need some serious spice tolerance -- or a lot of milk -- if you plan to try a Ghost Pepper Candy. Also referred to as 'Bhut Jolokia,' this fire-alarming pepper is considered to be one of the world's hottest capsicums.

The sinister pepper is blended with the refreshing taste of watermelon, which contains natural sugars that help cut through the heat. The mix of sweet and spicy is a flavor-packed experience that will have your mouth burning in delight. The nuclear green and licorice black appearance will have you -- or friends -- fooled into thinking this is just another ordinary treat.

The Ghost Pepper Candy is handmade in New York with 16-18 candies per pack. If you are looking for the ultimate heat endurance test, try one of these fiery sweets.

2. Gourmet Candy Trend - The rise of high-quality, artisanal candies opens up possibilities for unique and unexpected flavor combinations.
