Taco Bell has officially unveiled its latest sauce innovation: a bold new Diablo Sauce created in partnership with Mike’s Hot Honey. This marks the first collaboration between the popular fast food chain and the cult-favorite hot honey brand—and it’s also the first time Mike’s Hot Honey has helped develop an entirely new flavor.
Announced Thursday, the new sauce combines Taco Bell’s fiery Diablo flavor with the signature sweetness of hot honey. The result is a spicy-sweet blend that Taco Bell describes as “unapologetically spicy” with a “complex, peppery kick” balanced by just the right amount of honeyed sweetness.
“Our sauces spark obsession—fans collect them, remix them, and make them part of who they are,” said Liz Matthews, Taco Bell’s global chief food innovation officer. “Working with Mike’s Hot Honey felt like the ultimate way to build on our legacy of sauce innovation. Now we’ve created a sweet-heat experience that fans have never tasted from us before.”
Mike Kurtz, founder of Mike’s Hot Honey, also praised the collaboration. “Taco Bell values culinary creativity,” he said. “Together, we’ve reimagined what hot honey can be by blending it with Diablo Sauce to create something totally new and unforgettable.”
The new Mike’s Hot Honey Diablo Sauce is now available at participating Taco Bell locations nationwide. It comes with every order of chicken nuggets and is also available a la carte for $0.25, while supplies last.
To celebrate the launch, Taco Bell is offering a special reward for fans. On Tuesday, May 27 at 2 p.m. PST, Taco Bell Rewards Members can claim a limited-edition Mike’s Hot Honey Jacket through the Taco Bell app. Only 500 jackets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
