The Candiewood Farm Whiskey-Treated Maple Wood Chips Enhance Foods

— March 15, 2017 — Art & Design

The Candiewood Farm Whiskey-Treated Maple Wood Chips are treated with a flavor concoction that consists of a mixture of whiskey, spies, chili jam and honey. These flavors are purported to come through when the wood is used for grilling and smoking in order to enhance foods with flavor without spending too much time in preparation.
