HEAVENLY HELL: Championship Candy BBQ Glaze – 250ml

Sweet heat that wins ribbons

Championship Candy is Heavenly Hell's multi-award-winning competition glaze — cherry, orange liqueur and chipotle in one glossy, sticky coat. It's the "candy" finish that turns a rack of ribs into a competition-table showpiece: dark, shiny and sweet, with a gentle chipotle warmth to keep it grown-up.

The flavour

Sweet cherry leads, lifted by a boozy orange-liqueur brightness that keeps it from being one-note. Chipotle sits underneath with a smoky, gentle heat, and the whole thing finishes glossy and sticky — the classic "candied" competition-rib profile.

How to use it

• Brush it onto ribs in the last 15–20 minutes so the sugars candy up without scorching.
• Glaze pork belly or a pork roast in the final stretch for a glossy, sticky lacquer.
• Finish chicken wings or thighs late for a sweet, shiny, sticky coat.
• Warm it first so it brushes on thin and even.
• Rogue move: glaze grilled stone fruit or a ham with it for a sweet, smoky edge.

In the bottle

A glossy, deep-red glaze with a rich cherry colour — thick and sticky, made to cling and shine. Warmed, it brushes on in a smooth, even coat.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Competition ribs, three steps: rub with Four Saucemen The Pork Rub, candy them late with this, and serve a spoon of Drunken Sailor Onion, Cranberry & Bourbon Relish on the side. Thin coats in the back half — candy glazes catch fast if you rush them.
