Fans are already reacting online and planning visits, with many saying they missed out the first time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIf you missed out on the viral Hot Mozz from Dave\u2019s Hot Chicken the first time, you\u2019re getting another shot. The chain just brought the dish back to locations nationwide after it sold out within days of its original launch.<\/p>\n
The thick-cut, Chili\u2019s-esque, mozzarella sticks took off fast, driven by social media and the kind of cheese pull that practically demands to be filmed. Within a week, they were gone. And, starting today, they\u2019re officially back on the menu, and fans are already running to their nearest Dave\u2019s to get a taste.<\/p>\n
The Hot Mozz isn\u2019t your standard side. Each piece is coated in Dave\u2019s signature spice blends, which range from Not Hot all the way up to Reaper. It\u2019s the same heat scale used on the chain\u2019s chicken, which means you can treat this like a casual snack or a full-on challenge, depending on your spice tolerance (and your bravery).<\/p>\n\n\nWhen we tried them the first time around, they actually lived up to the hype. The cheese pull is real, but more importantly, the texture is incredible. The exterior stays crisp while the inside stays stretchy and melty. That balance is harder to get right than it sounds, especially once you start adding spice into the mix.<\/p>\n
Fans clearly agreed. The original announcement pulled in tens of millions of views across the chain\u2019s social media platforms. People were planning trips around trying the Hot Mozz, and some didn\u2019t even get the chance before the menu item disappeared.<\/p>\n
Now that they\u2019re back, the same energy is already building again.<\/p>\n\n\nRelated Story<\/span>Comments on the brand\u2019s announcement are exactly what you\u2019d expect. \u201cOMG YESSS \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25,\u201d one person wrote. Another kept it simple with \u201cLooks delicious \ud83d\ude0b.\u201d Others are already making plans, with one fan saying, \u201cDamn I\u2019ll be there tomorrow \ud83d\ude0d,\u201d while another added, \u201cFINALLYYY.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even people who haven\u2019t tried them yet seem locked in. \u201cPLEASE COME TO NAPA, or somewhere near!\u201d one user commented. Thankfully, the chain has been quickly expanding its reach across the country\u2014so odds are that you\u2019ll have a location near you soon.<\/p>\n\nThat kind of response explains why Dave\u2019s moved quickly to bring them back. This wasn\u2019t just a successful limited-time item. It was one of the brand\u2019s biggest launches, period.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no word yet on how long the Hot Mozz will stick around this time. Given how fast they sold out before, it\u2019s probably not something you want to wait on. Because if the first launch proved anything, it\u2019s that these don\u2019t sit around for long.<\/p>\n\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
