South of the Border Burnt Ends and Tips

Our South of the Border Burnt Ends and Tips were a bit zippy. I nailed it! These were like a ZIPPY meat candy. Note: Ken’s idea of zippy is a true tongue scorcher. Depending on your heat level you may want to tone these down. Patti and Rat (our little dog) couldn't eat them. For me, off the hook and jam packed with all the…
