Hot Honey
Spice Witch Hot Honey is real honey infused with chili for a sweet heat that builds as you drizzle — the heat shows up after the sweet. It comes in a squeeze bottle made for the table, not the back of the pantry.
What hot honey is, and what makes ours different
Hot honey is honey infused with chili — sweet first, heat second. Ours is built to be poured, so it lives in a squeeze bottle on the table instead of a jar you have to fight with a spoon. It is made in small batches in Asheville, NC by a woman-owned kitchen, the same way every Spice Witch product is made.
The heat is slow. You taste honey, then warmth arrives a beat later and rounds out the sweetness rather than covering it. That timing is the whole point — it means you can pour it on food that is already sweet without turning the dish into a dare.
What to put it on
Hot honey is a finishing drizzle. Anywhere you would reach for honey, syrup, or a sweet-hot glaze, this works.
- Pizza — especially pepperoni, sausage, or anything with a salty cheese
- Fried chicken — the classic pairing, and the reason most people buy their first bottle
- Biscuits and cornbread — straight over the top, while they are still warm
- Cheese boards — sharp cheddar, blue, goat cheese, or fresh mozzarella
- Roasted vegetables — carrots, brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes
- Breakfast — waffles, pancakes, yogurt, and buttered toast
- Glazes and marinades — whisk into a wing sauce or brush over salmon before it goes in the oven
Hot Honey vs. Spicy Honey Chili Crisp
These two get confused constantly, so here is the difference in one line: Hot Honey pours, Spicy Honey Chili Crisp crunches.
Hot Honey is smooth and drizzleable in a squeeze bottle — reach for it when you want sweet heat that coats. Spicy Honey Chili Crisp is a crunchy, spoonable topping with fried aromatics in it — reach for that when you want texture. Plenty of people keep both, and you can pair them in our bundle sets.
Seasonal honey
Alongside the everyday bottle, we run seasonal infusions in small batches — including Pumpkin Spice Honey in the fall. Seasonal flavors are made in limited runs and go when they go.
