For a name that's pretty menacing, these peppers look like such adorable and delectable cuties, but don't be fooled! The Satan's Kiss pepper, also called Baccio Ciliegia Piccante, is a tiny Italian heirloom packed full of surprising heat that will knock your taste buds loose!

These compact pepper plants grow anywhere between 2-3 ft. tall, growing plenty of these tiny, golf ball-shaped pods that ripen from green to a purplish red. The name ciliegia piccante means "spicy cherry" in Italian, and that's exactly what they look like! With beautiful colors, you could grow Satan's Kiss as a nice ornamental pepper plant that will look very unique from other plants in your garden.

Satan's Kiss Pepper has a sweet taste with a spicy kick to it. How about a plate of them next to some of our cherry tomatoes? We love these heirloom peppers when stuffed and grilled, but you should definitely try stuffing them with anchovies and mozzarella and then grilling them as they do in Italy. Satan's Kiss is a medium-hot pepper that will be the perfect manageable heat for a party.
