So much to tell you in one little e-mail! We've
lowered shipping charges and many prices throughout the store. There
are several new products on the web site. There's a new hottest
pepper in the world to announce. Oh, where to start?! |

Lower Shipping Charges |
|
Customers spoke out, we listened! |
|
With ever increasing fuel prices, shipping
charges can end up costing you as much as the merchandise you're
ordering. But, we've done some calculations and figured out a way to
bring those down to a reasonable level. |
| In the process of recalculating costs, we
were also able to lower the prices of many of our products. Stop by
take advantage of the savings! |

Spiciest
Pepper in the World |

|
The Carolina Reaper Chile is now the hottest! |
|
There's a new chili pepper on it's way to
Guinness World Record fame!
Get yours before anyone else! "We have raised
the bar for heat, surpassing the current world record holder, the
Butch T Trinidad Scorpion. Over a four year period, Smokin' Ed's
Carolina Reaper has averaged 1.474 million on the Scoville Scale." |
| If you'd like more options in
searing heat, we have plenty to offer in the former champion, the
Trinidad Scorpion, as well as the third place holder, the
Ghost
Pepper. |

New Seasoning
Blends for Popcorn and More |
|
Salt & Vinegar Powder
The classic flavor combination |
| Tart and tangy, this fine
powdered seasoning will transform French fries and homemade chips
into an addicting accompaniment to any casual meal. We like it on
fried fish. Bars will value it's ability to stimulate their
customers' thirst by serving it up on some popcorn. |
|
Balsamic Vinegar & Sea Salt Seasoning
with Roasted Garlic &
Rosemary |
| The easiest way to add "class"
to fries, as well as any number of foods. Sprinkle onto popcorn and
you could serve it at the Opera! We shake a few dashes of it over
roasted carrots and serve it along side a London broil. |
|
Honey Mustard Seasoning
made with French's
Mustard |
| Ever had honey mustard
popcorn? No? I didn't think so. You can get honey mustard pretzels,
so why not put it on your popcorn, too? We like it on potato wedges
and our kid sprinkles it onto chicken nuggets.
Makes a Honey Mustard dipping sauce, too. |
|
Honey Mustard & Onion Seasoning
with a touch of
Worcestershire Sauce |
| This well-rounded, savory
flavor profile seasons popcorn as well as
roasted red potatoes. I've mixed it with mayo to make
a quick and easy potato salad dressing. It even stirs up a quick and
easy Honey Mustard and Onion dip for your potato chips and pretzels. |
|
BBQ Rib Flavored Seasoning
seasoned with Butt Rub |
| Sure, you can make an awesome
snack by shaking this over popcorn, but why stop there? We add it to
cooked green beans, baked beans, home fries, and pork rinds and find
it simply irresistible! Down home flavors, just simpler to apply. No
shame in that! |
|
Movie Theaters' Secret Popcorn Salt
The secret's out of the bag! |
| If you're always trying to
make popcorn as good as what you get at the movie theater, but it's
never quite the same, look no further! This is the perfectly
seasoned buttery salt they're using and now you can, too! |
 |
New Cotton Candy Sugars |
|
Not just for making cotton candy! |
|
We use "floss sugar" in baking to
add color and flavor to any dessert recipe that calls for granulated
sugar. You can also sprinkle directly onto desserts as a flavorful and
colorful finishing sugar. We currently offer 5 flavors/colors. |

Perfect
for topping cupcakes and cakes |
Quick and easy homemade candy |
1 cup milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cotton candy sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup real butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1. In a small saucepan, whisk together milk and flour.
2. Cook mixture over medium-high heat just until boiling, stirring
often.
3. Pour mixture into a mixing bowl and allow to cool.
4. When the mixture is cooled, add remaining ingredients to bowl and
beat with an electric mixer on medium for 12 minutes, or until sugar
has dissolved completely (if the frosting is gritty, keep beating). |
1/2 cup powdered
sugar
2 cups cotton candy sugar
1 cup water
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1. Generously coat a cookie sheet with powdered sugar; set aside.
2. In a heavy saucepan, stir together cotton candy sugar, water, and
corn syrup until sugar has dissolved. Over medium-high heat, bring
mixture to a boil and then cook until a candy thermometer reads 300
- 310 degrees F (hard crack stage).
3. Immediately pour the mixture slowly and evenly onto prepared
cookie sheet. When the candy is cool enough for the outer edges to
hold their shape, cut into bite-size pieces with scissors.
4. Cool completely before storing in a zip-top bag. |
