Favorite snack stick flavors?
-
Jonathon Wasn’t there a Pizza flavored snack stick available not too long ago? I do not see it on the website now, but I know I did a batch of pizza snack sticks maybe about a year ago and I am sure I did not just modify the brat seasoning.
Now that I think of it, I think this was the seasoning that twilliams had some problems with.cdub2007 yes it was

twilliams curious on Bourbon Peppercorn…regarding heat level, I’ve just made a batch of willies and my wife says they’re to spicy for her. Looking for something we can both enjoy, hows the heat compared to willies?
Snacks no heat at all, I highly recommend it as it is my #1 favorite

Snacks I you are looking for a mild one, I made a batch of the Bloody Mary and they were mild but had a good flavor. I did use ECA in the batch I made, which may have added to the taste.

GWG8541 thank you, funny I was just looking at seasonings in Walton’s for a second choice… so Bourbon peppercorn and Bloody Mary are my next project…!! Thanks guys.
Snacks if you haven’t told her the flavor name yet just tell her it’s peppercorn. Some folks really get thrown off by the word “bourbon” if they don’t like whiskey and automatically get it in their brain that they don’t like it. I can’t taste no whiskey in it what so ever.

cdub2007 Yes, there was. Apparently, they were/are having trouble with the formulation, I have heard it was an ingredient that was hard to find but from twilliams
information, I think it might be a reformulation. Personally, I don’t love the pizza flavored snack stick that much, tasted like tomato powder to me. I have had a few people here tell me I am crazy though and they like it. One of the big things with that seasoning is that it does develop over the course of a few days. If/when it comes back out we will let everyone know. -
Sticks are done. Taco, Bourbon Peppercorn and Maple Bacon. Started pulling from the smoker at 132 and into the Sous Vide. All three batches took less than 20 minutes combined time to hit 160.

Oh yeah, had to sample each one. All three are very good. The kids and grandkids are going to love these.

The bourbon peppercorn is quite tasty. There is a flavor profile there that I’m not picking up on (old taste buds ). Will keep sampling. It’s also the only one of the three I’ll have around for personal use. The maple bacon is to sweet for me and the taco is just that, taco.As I said the kids will love these. I’ll still take the Willie’s as #1.

Had to do a few logs after the sticks. Came out pretty well. Yeah, I know. No cheese. The boys didn’t want it this time. Not sure they’re my children anymore.

Jonathon i can understand why you like the Willies so much. It has really good flavor with a good back end heat. And like i said i notice you like heat in alot of your sticks and jerky. Like Habanero BBQ, Gigiwatt and ghost pepper cheese. I have grown out of the hotness thats why i prefer to have the Bourbon Peppercorn, Ranch and fajita. I do love growing peppers though just to give away as i grow the hottest peppers in the WORLD!! Its really fascinating to me. Id really like to make a snack stick with Carolina Reaper in it, i just have a hard time using my meat for that as i will only give it away to mostly hispanics i know that love the heat.

PapaSop i dont know how to do a thumbs up and thumbs down on here, so hoping you would have said Bourbon Peppercorn superceded Willies…lol.

Have any of you guys made summer sausage out of Willies? I want to try some and add some pepper cheese to it.

Sort of. I take what’s leftover from the stuffer, form into a log and smoke. Slices just like summer sausage.
