Rippin’ Hot Candy

We’ve got a brand new candy in the shop, called Blazin’ Nova. These lemon drops are made with the legendary Ghost Chili, which exceeds one million Scoville units. For comparison, the respectable Habanero Chili shows up at about 200,000 on the Scoville scale. Come in and get a box, if you’re feeling brave enough. Maggie, (below) never one to turn down a dare, sampled one yesterday.
