A perfect of blend of spicy and sweet, hot honey has become all the rage online - and now it has become the centre of attention in Waitrose stores across the UK.

The supermarket has rolled out its latest delicious collection for barbecues and summer nibbles, capitalising on the viral adoration of the condiment.


Taking to Instagram to share the exciting news, Waitrose teased: "If you're obsessed with Hot Honey we have a whole host of delicious products for you to choose from..."

From the bakery to the barbecue, there's something for everyone. The hot honey flatbreads seemed to have sparked immediate interest, with one fan commenting that it was "insane".

The range is fairly expansive; currently, barbecue fans can get their hands on the Hot Honey Halloumi Kebabs and the Smokin' Hot Honey Pork Belly Slices.

Or, if you'd prefer to create your own marinades, Waitrose's hot honey gochujang could go well as a flavourful addition to any meat.

Equally, fans can be enticed by the supermarket's Hot Honey Chicken Bites, coated in a crispy chilli coating accompanied by a sticky spicy honey drizzle.

To make a summer spread that extra bit more delightful, the hot honey flatbreads are perfect for sharing around the table.

Hand-stretched and gently spiced, Waitrose recommends warming the breads up before serving.

Additionally, a picnic can be perfected by adding the traditional Cheddar and Hot Honey Pinwheels, available in the supermarket's summer deli collection.

And, if you're on-the-go, you can grab Waitrose's No.1 Mortadella & Ricotta Sandwich with Hot Honey made "with succulent mortadella and creamy ricotta, drizzled with hot honey on malted bread".

One foodie responded saying that they were "absolutely obsessed with hot honey", while another exclaimed: "Hot, hot, hot!"

Recently, Waitrose has also introduced eight new products inspired by viral cooking trends and customers' growing desire to recreate popular Asian dishes.

The latest additions will form part of the Cooks' Ingredients range, which aims to "elevate every meal with a pinch of spice, a spoonful of sauce or a flash of flavour".

As the supermarket reports soaring demand for Korean and Japanese cuisines among customers, the latest additions aim to facilitate a taste of Asia at home.

The new range includes Korean-inspired Bibimbap Sauce, Hot Honey Gochujang, and Salt & Pepper Seasoning.
