Spicy Candy Watermelon

Bhut Jolokia is hot! It happens to be the hottest pepper in the world and the company Bhut Pepper, based in Brooklyn, New York has introduced its sweeter side with their Bhut Jolokia Spicy Watermelon Candy.

Here’s what you need to know. The Bhut Jolokia, aka “the ghost pepper,” scores over a million on the Scoville spiciness rating scale—the highest ever recorded. (Your last jalapeño: around 5,000.) In its native India, it’s used to ward off elephants and to incapacitate rioters—so, naturally, someone’s gone and turned it into candy.
