This is where it all started. Texas Pepper Jelly Rib Candy™ Pineapple Habanero is the original flavor that launched a BBQ revolution. Created by Craig Sharry for competition barbecuers, this pourable, brushable BBQ glaze has become a go-to for backyard pitmasters across the country.
With a bold pineapple punch and a smooth habanero heat, this fruit-based BBQ glaze brings serious flavor to ribs, pork chops, chicken wings, and more. It's not the sweetest in the lineup, but it delivers one of the most balanced and impactful flavor profiles of them all.

How spicy is the Pineapple Habanero Rib Candy™?
It delivers a medium heat level—noticeable but well-balanced by the tangy sweetness of pineapple. It’s bold without being overpowering, making it a great choice for most heat seekers.
What’s the best way to use Pineapple Habanero Rib Candy™?
Brush it on ribs, pork chops, chicken, or grilled shrimp during the last 10–15 minutes of cooking, or drizzle it on right before serving for a flavorful, glossy finish.
Is this the original Rib Candy™ flavor?
Yes, Pineapple Habanero was the first Rib Candy™ flavor created by Craig Sharry and remains one of the most popular thanks to its balanced sweet-heat profile.
Can I combine this with other Rib Candy™ flavors?
Absolutely! Many pitmasters mix Pineapple Habanero with other flavors to create layered profiles—it's especially good with cherry, mango, or apple-based varieties.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
