Editor’s note: On Thursdays, Gretchen VanEsselstyn of Chile Pepper Magazine drops by to drop some serious heat. Today, serious heat in an unexpected place.
Here at Chile Pepper, we use hot sauce in everything–even dessert. These are some of our favorite sweet hot sauces–plus, a red-hot brownie recipe to keep the flame burning, even at the end of the meal.
Crazy Uncle Jester’s AfterBurner Habanero Hot Fudge Sauce is a creamy, rich, spicy chocolate sauce that will definitely give new meaning to your next hot fudge sundae. Warning: This is not for the weak of tongue.
Crazy Jerry’s Gold ‘N’ Heat Peach Dessert Hot Sauce is a sweet sauce with golden flakes that looks great as a drizzled garnish on any dessert.
