Mission Meats Candied Sriracha Bacon Jerky – Delicious Savory & Sweet Snack, Small Batch, Uncured, Bloody Mary Bar Supplies, Perfect Stocking Stuffer Gift, 2oz Bags (Pack of 3)

I enjoy spicy food. Usually when something claims, "Caution: Extremely Hot & Spicy" I just roll my eyes and say, "Yeah, right." While I wouldn't consider it "extreme", it should still get the attention of even a seasoned capsaicin connoisseur. I consider it comfortably hot. My face may start to sweat, but I'm not desperately reaching for something to drink. For the uninitiated, it will definitely pose a challenge, as many of my coworkers can attest. Even so, one thing everyone has agreed on is the delicious flavor. A very nice balance of sweet and peppery goodness. Excellent texture as well. Not so tough and dry that you feel like you're going to rip your teeth out trying to tear off a piece. It's still a little moist and chewy. I couldn't help myself and finished off an entire bag in one go. No regrets. The only real con is it's a bit pricey. But grass-fed beef tends to be, and the quality of this meat is clearly evident.Highly recommended.

I have purchased and eaten what has undoubtedly become an unhealthy amount of this bacon jerky treasure. I rarely buy grocery store jerky, not even the "gourmet" kind, as it just never impresses me and ends up being an expensive "desperation" purchase to satisfy a jerky craving. I'm a snob that either eats homemade or bothers to drive myself to a craft store. But THIS STUFF has become my favorite. I rarely leave reviews, as I'm a lazy jerky snob to boot. However, I gotta give these people props. They have created an addiction I didn't know I had, and will now have to strictly monitor. Thanks for that.If I have one complaint, one minor criticism, it's that the particular batch I got this time was a bit "fatty." Now, under normal bacon circumstances, this would be ideal and praised in almost worshipful fashion. However, being that there is a fine tightrope balance between bacon and jerky that Mission Meats has dared to precariously walk down (and they own it like a model strutting down the cat walk by the way), the fattiness unfortunately waters down the delicious intensity of flavor and spice. This obviously has more to do with the meat selection, and is bound to happen from time to time.That's it. The tiniest of criticisms. The flavor still rocks, and I hope the recipe never changes. If you ever sold a jar of the marinade, I'd probably drink it.Amazon folks, do yourself a favor. Buy the 6 pack. Or buy two of them. Don't buy the three pack. You'll just be sad when you've eaten all of it in one day, and there's no more bacon jerky to get your sticky fingers on. At least with 6 you've got a good two days of bacon jerky. You can thank me later. God bless.UPDATE: It seems these folks take reviews quite seriously, as when I purchased another batch, it was the densest, crunchiest, most flavorful pack I've received from them. The fattiness I mentioned was balanced out perfectly. I don't know how they managed it, but I'm grateful. This stuff rocks, and I'm saving up to buy more. MissionMeats, you've got an amazing thing going for you, please don't ever change.

This product seems to be good but I prefer the sticks. The taste isn't bad and the quality seems good. Was packaged good and arrived on time.

Tried a handful of different brands and this is my favorite so far. Decent price and worth the purchase. Will re-order.

I am not over exaggerating this. Ate one package, it was terrible. Ate the second package just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Third package is dog treats now. How do you manage to turn jerky into a war crime?1: Flavour: overambitious, like somebody tried to make teriyaki from a verbal description from another person who smelled teriyaki once.2: Texture: somewhere between Styrofoam and 1 year old marzipan. I can't adequately describe it but that's as close as I can get.3: it's not jerky. How do I know this for sure? It says REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING on the label! Real jerky has been made for centuries and is shelf stable for an incredibly long time. Like, it was a thing loooooooong before we had refrigeration. You have to work hard to mess up a jerky recipe.

Amazon delivered right at lunch time, tried one within 5 minutes of receiving --10 minutes later I lost it to the commode, couldn't keep it down YUCK!!!!!!!! Tasted OK but not great and for this price it was horrid that I threw it up in less than 15 minutes. I read the reviews about moldy/spoiled sticks others had rec'd. I looked in my bag $37 for 24 sticks so I expected excellence but got way less :( There is an opened, seal broken stick and a mangled stick. I will NOT eat these! What a waste!! There has to be a way to return them. HELP!!! They were just delivered less than hour agoUPDATE!!! I emailed the seller and Troy was very helpful. He said he would send me replacement and that 99% of all their packaging never fails but if it does there are no preservatives. I put mine in fridge and ate another one next day, so far so good! I will update again when he sends my replacements. No one or thing is perfect but customer service to make it right it huge!! Thanks Troy!WOW!! Troy delivered and I now am satisfied with the customer service I rec'd and for sure feel it was just a bad batch that I 1st rec'd. I am changing my 1* to 5*...I still think these are VERY expensive but I am happy with the product!

I should have taken a pic...but here we are, and me with no picture. This stuff is really good - I use it on Buffalo Chicken Dip (the one on the back of the Frank's sauce?). I chop it up and sprinkle that $@!! everywhere. It's so GOOD!

About as spicy as a jalapeño at best. The warning on the packaging is a joke. Very sweet.
