Adrenaline spikes and rapid heart rates are nothing new to adventurers like you, so we know you’re seeking more thrill and less chill this Halloween.
Whether you’re hiking a haunted trail or enjoying an off-the-grid experience to celebrate the holiday, you’re gonna need some snacks.
See how far you and your friends can take your taste buds as you fuel your seasonal adventures with a spicy snack challenge.
Spicy Halloween Snacks: Haunted Heat Levels
We’re inviting all thrill seekers to indulge in the fiery flavors Savage Jerky offers. Follow our Halloween Heat-O-Meter to determine how much heat you can really handle.
All spicy snack challenge participants should start with the mildest flavor, leading up to the most extreme.
The last one standing gets all the glory and a grand prize grab bag of a variety of the best beef and turkey jerky.
Let the games begin.
Level 1 - Mild Mummy (Beginner-Friendly)
Ease into the competition by starting with Salt & Pepper Patriot. Fresh cracked pepper adds a hint of heat, and when combined with sea salt and a blend of herbs and spices, the result is a milder flavor that still packs a punch.
No scares here. It’s the perfect entry point to get the taste buds prepped for the spicy Halloween jerky to come.
Level 2 - Vampire Jalapeno (A Sneaky Bite)
For a flavor with a mild-to-medium spice level and lingering heat, the Jalapeno Mojo may make you sweat.
This hot pepper jerky brings the heat without burning the palate by adding a citrusy zest and a touch of brown sugar to balance out the flavor.
You can take the spice level up a notch without going full throttle.
Level 3 - Werewolf Habanero (The Fiery Beast)
Here’s where we start getting into the red zone of heat. Habanero Mojo Premium Beef Jerky delivers a flavor smack to the face with a zing of heat that’s not for the faint of heart.
You’ll be addicted to the flavor, yet your taste buds will be feeling the fire. Adding this to the midway point of the spicy snack challenge will quickly reveal who's really ready to go to the extreme.
Level 4 - Ghost Pepper Ghoul (The Ultimate Blaze)
Venture your way into the very hot heat level of the Ghost Pepper Beef Jerky.
In terms of spicy Halloween snacks, this one may bring tears to your eyes, but the taste can’t be beat.
Only the most adventurous of palates should apply for the slow, lingering burn of smoky ghost peppers infused in Savage Jerky’s housemade buffalo sauce.

Level 5 - The Grim Reaper (The Most Extreme Heat)
Mirror, mirror on the wall – what’s the HOTTEST flavor of them all? Let’s just say only the strongest will survive the extreme heat level of the Carolina Reaper Beef Jerky.
The Carolina Reaper pepper is well-known for its long-lasting burn, bringing even the most experienced spicy snacker to their knees. We’re talking a heat that reaches up to 2.2 million on the Scoville scale and doesn’t let up.
When you find the person who is happily munching away on the spiciest level of beef jerky (or at least can handle it without breathing flames), then you’ll have yourself a winner.
