Hi all,

I have searched quite a bit and there really isn't a whole lot out there on reviews about the Rib Candy. Wondering if anyone here is a fan of it on their ribs, and which flavor specifically? I really want to try the double pepper habanero as the one or two reviews I found of a regular fruit and habanero say it really doesn't pack much of a punch. I love sweet and spicy but also don't want to overpower my more conservative friends. For those of you who do use the candy, do you have a sauce that you find really compliments it well?

Thanks!

We use the apple cherry habanero original on our ribs in competition.

Craig's sauce is really good as well.

The apple cherry seems quite popular, have you had any other flavors? Do you finish it with a homemade sauce or are Craigs?

Out of the bottle it is quite warm but once cooked on it is not that bad.

The black cherry and the pineapple are big sellers for teams as well.

When we wrap we lay three rows across the top of the ribs then wrap. We finish after the wrap with his sauce.

Great, thank you. I'm going to order a bottle of the Rib Candy, I was debating between the Apple Cherry Habanero (still thinking 2x pepper) and Pineapple Habanero coincidentally enough. Maybe I will have to toss a bottle of his sauce in as well!

I look forward to your review. I talk to Craig quite often as he is the President of IBCA and I am a Regional director as well as a certified head judge.
