Trader Joe's Spicy Honey Sauce

When sweet and savory come together successfully, it’s always magical. If you can combine sweet and spicy, specifically, that’s an entirely different level of magic. A few years ago, we achieved such sorcery with a delicately spiced honey sauce that left us dreaming of all the different dishes over which we could drizzle it. With a list so long, we decided to bump up the bottle size (by four ounces!), crank up the heat (it’ll prompt a pleasant ooh after every taste), and offer it for the very same price as the previous, smaller version! This new iteriation of Trader Joe’s Spicy Honey Sauce delivers a harmonious intermingling of rich, aromatic honey and a thrilling kick from chili extract, held together with a bit of vinegar. This has the transformative power to augment sweet and savory dishes alike, turning merely delicious meals into transcendent ones.

From something as simple as a baked sweet potato to something as rich as a slice of New York Cheesecake, a drizzling of Spicy Honey Sauce instantly gives anything it’s added to an extra element of complexity. Try it on sandwiches, pizza, or tacos for an elevated everyday eating experience. Give it a go over freshly baked Organic Biscuits, air-fried Breaded Chicken Tenderloin Breasts, roasted veggies, or barbecued shrimp skewers for a bit of epicurean experimentation. Add some oomph to salad dressings, BBQ glazes, and marinades with a generous squeeze. And if you’re really adventurous, you can even try it with pancakes, parfaits, or mixed into tequila- and rum-based cocktails. Magical, indeed.
