Hot honey might have sounded strange a
few years ago, but now it’s one of Amazon’s
Kurtz started making
chile-infused honey
for the pizzas at Paulie
Gee’s in Brooklyn. Sales
of Mike’s Hot Honey
have doubled every
year since, inspiring
other brands to launch
similarly fiery honeys.

GOOD IN PAPER
Diageo, the company behind alcohol brands
like Smirnoff and Guinness, has created
the first-ever plastic-free, paper-based
liquor bottle. It’s a big step toward making
packaging more eco-friendly: Other paper
drink containers, like the ones used for milk,
are coated with plastic resin. Look for paper
bottles of Johnnie Walker scotch whisky
this spring and nonalcoholic PepsiCo drinks
later in the year.

These Boards Are Sweet!
Charcuterie and cheese are great, but the next big grazing trend is all about
dessert: boards loaded with artfully arranged candy, cookies and s’mores
ingredients. Check out #dessertcharcuterie on Instagram and follow
@boards_by_afenyn10, @seecandycook and @thebakermama for inspiration.
