Cracker Barrel Spices Up Its Chicken Tenders and Chicken Sandwich
Country store Cracker Barrel is the latest place to kick things up with hot honey as it is adding a sweet-heat honey glaze to its Bee-Sting Chicken Tenders and Bee-Sting Chicken Sandwich.

Bottom Line: The Smokey Boy Pizzetta from Dos Sirenos Brewing delivers plenty of layers of flavor, and it has a nice kick as well.

Bottom Line: These two spicy ketchup varieties from Melinda's have a kick and the mini bottles are worth buying for the convenience.
When it comes to the spicy ketchup that you see for sale in the store, I usually pass on that because I prefer to make my own and that can be a ton of fun because of all the flavor and spice possibilities (see my recipe for that here.) But around Christmas time last year, Walmart put displays in its stores with...
