Welcome to Wishlist After Dark, folks! Up on the counter it's Fly By Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp, the X L 16-ounce jar, and it's the perfect gift for the food lover who puts spice on everything. With me, Penny Pickwell, who reads every review so you don't have to, and Sunny, who gets excited about a jar lid. And honestly? Rightly so! Hi everyone. I've read up on this jar, Marty, so pace yourself. Hi! I'm so happy to be here.

And Marty, that jar is big! Sixteen ounces, folks! That's the X L size, so this isn't a little taste. It's a whole lot of crunch. Ooh, and the texture's the fun part! It's a Sichuan chili sauce that's spicy, savory and slightly numbing, and it's crunchy. But wait, there's more! Drizzle it on dishes or cook with it. Sunny, what are you making first? A fried egg, Marty! The maker says you can fry an egg with it.

Picture someone opening this and making breakfast right away. That's the whole rundown, folks. Okay, Penny. What's the catch? The catch is the heat. Buyers say it brings real heat and a numbing tingle, so it's for someone who likes spicy food. Wait, numbing? On purpose? On purpose, Marty! That tingle's the Sichuan part, and for spice fans it's the whole fun. And in the box? One 16-ounce jar, that's it.

If your giftee thinks black pepper is spicy, skip this one. Okay, Penny, honest rating time. Is it a good gift? For the right person, yes. A BuzzFeed reviewer called it the best gift for the food lover in your life. I'm at six point nine, though, because it really is just for spice fans. I'm at seven point four, Penny! That crunch and the fried egg idea win me over. And Marty gave it an eight, of course!

Put it together and the After Dark Score is seven point four out of ten. That's number four of the four kitchen gifts we've ranked, right behind the Lodge skillet. So grab it for the spice lover in your life! The link's on our site and in the description. See you next time, folks!
