Grilled cheese is already iconic, but add a drizzle of hot honey, and you’ve got a next-level bite—crispy, melty, sweet, spicy, and completely addictive. We've tried just about every 'swicy' recipe we can come up with at this point, and cheesy-swicy might just be the final frontier of flavor.

Whether you’re a fan of Local Hive Original Hot Honey for classic sweetness, Chipotle Hot Honey for smoky heat, or Sriracha Hot Honey for a bold kick, this is the easiest way to elevate your favorite comfort food.

🔥 The Golden Rules of Grilled Cheese

• Use Good Bread – Sourdough or a hearty artisan loaf gives the best crunch. You can always use basic white bread, but seriously, who wants to be basic?
• Mix Your Cheeses – A blend of sharp cheddar, gouda, and mozzarella brings maximum melt and flavor.
• Butter (or Mayo) Matters – Spread softened butter or mayo on the outside for an ultra-crispy crust.

🍯 Three Ways to Add Hot Honey

1. The Drizzle – Keep it classic. Grill your sandwich to golden perfection, then drizzle Local Hive Hot Honey over the top or dunk each bite.
2. The Infused Butter – Mix hot honey into melted butter, then brush it onto the bread before grilling for an even layer of sweet heat.
3. The Honey-Glazed Cheese – Drizzle hot honey inside the sandwich, between layers of cheese, for a sticky, spicy-sweet filling.

🐝Why Choose Local Hive Hot Honey

Each of our three flavors of Local Hive Hot Honey are made with 100% U.S. raw & unfiltered honey sourced from beekeepers we trust. We choose only the best-tasting honey and bottle it with all those unique floral notes intact. Even after we infuse spicy peppers, you can still taste the rich, real honey flavor.

We used to think grilled cheese was just another lazy Sunday afternoon snack. But sweet-heat has a way of transforming even the simplest recipes into something awesome.
