Texas Pepper Jelly Rib Candy Pineapple Habanero is where the legend began. Created by Craig Sharry for competition cooks, this pourable, brushable BBQ glaze redefined what ribs—and sweet heat—should taste like. Packed with tropical pineapple flavor and the perfect habanero kick, this original Rib Candy™ delivers a balanced, tangy heat that shines on pork, ribs, chicken, and more.

The bright fruit-forward sweetness complements smoky meat, while the habanero adds just enough punch to keep things exciting. It’s the ideal balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy—true BBQ innovation in a bottle.

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.
