    Reapers have a very sharp, almost acrid taste that in my experience doesn't naturally pair with sweet. It tends to work better towards dry rubs, jerky, and other savory things. Habanero peppers go very well with sweet. If you're going for heat, the Red Savina is one of, if not the hottest breed of habanero. It's a fruitier pepper, and I like to mix it with things like chicken, strawberries, and pineapple on a skewer with a honey glaze. It would probably make a great candy. Jalapenos for sure, I've had jalapeno jam, but it's too mild for my taste.

      They are called respirators. Hubby said they should have been worn the whole time. He used to be an EMT & a Fire fighter. He was also a Correctional officer. He has seen hundreds of staff & inmates go into respiratory distress from just pepper spray which isn't remotely as hot as what they put in that candy. Some people even go into respiratory arrest from super hot peppers etc. That is why I have seen multiple Drs. on TV ask people to stop the hot sauce/ tik tok/ hot pepper challenges. I wouldn't have been able to go in the room without one of those white suits & a respirator. I can't barely handle the tiniest bit of jalapeno in my food. I have extra & heightened taste buds & smell. At least they all already knew how they reacted to spicy food so it was fun. The people who don't understand the Scovil scale are always in for nasty surprises. It's not a joke.
      Glad they all fared well. 😊

Or, like "liquid smoke" with a maple flavor for a maple bacon-esque candy. Do a whole small batch of various savory flavors call it "flavory savors."
    Liquid smoke does help bring out certain flavors to the forefront like caramel if I'm not mistaken. Plus it's great for marinades

    Capsaicin isn't water soluble, so you have to do something to get it to blend with the sugar and water. I love hot chilis!

    I remember years ago stopping in at a hot sauce shop with a buddy of mine. They actually made you sign a waiver before you could try any of they're massively spicy hot sauces. I'll never do that again.
