Chilli Lovers Hamper contents

• Scorch Chilli Chocolate Spread from Chilli Alchemist – This is an amazing chocolate spread that has a little afterburn of chilli – not too much, but enough to know it’s there! A real treat with ice cream and other desserts or just spread on toast. Alternatively, warm it up and drizzle on cheesecake or other puddings.
• Blaze Salted Caramel Spread from Chilli Alchemist – Who doesn’t love salted caramel?! Blaze has some heat from chilli powder that gives it a fantastic twist. Beware – this is seriously moreish and you may find yourself going back to the fridge again and again!
• Evil One Chilli Sauce from Grim Reaper – Evil One is the hottest product in the hamper and may test your resolve a little! Scotch Bonnet and Ghost peppers bring a big hit of heat and this balances perfectly with the flavours of orange and lemon. Go easy to start with!
• Red Hot Lava Carolina Reaper Chilli Oil from Burning Desire- Despite being made with the infamous Carolina reaper chilli, the heat level isn’t off the charts. There is a good amount of heat; Burning Desire rate it as a 4/10 for heat. Great as a dip or a drizzle for your favourite foods.
• Smoke Chipotle Ketchup from Chilli Alchemist – The signature sauce in the Chilli Alchemist line up, this has a delicious smoky, spicy flavour. Use it with anything you like – it’s a really versatile sauce that will add deep, smoky tomato  and chipotle flavour to whatever you dip in it.
• Coffee & Chipotle Rub from Burning Desire – These rubs have a deep, savoury flavour thanks to the coffee and a wonderful smokiness from the chipotle. If you love a bit of spice and you love a barbecue – you need this on the menu! Marinate or rub it onto meat and vegetables to get an amazing flavour.

Spice Cupboard Jars

• Chipotle Chilli Flakes – Definitely up there with our favourite ingredients, these chilli flakes have an amazing scent and a delicious flavour. This is chipotle made the right way – smoked over pecan shells.
• De Arbol Chilli Flakes – Some call these the Mexican Cayenne chillies, bringing a good whack of chilli heat and all the flavours you’d want from chilli flakes. They are perfect for pepping up foods with more spice if you think that’s what it needs!

Choice of Chilli Chocolate bar

• Dark Matter from The Chilli Alchemist – 70% cocoa dark chocolate with naga chilli, essential oil of mint and popping candy. This is definitely chocolate to savour, not scoff!
• Purgatory from Grim Reaper – White chocolate with ghost chilli, mixed spice, cocoa nibs and essential oil of bergamot. A delicious, sweet treat that you’ll want to take your time with. You can also melt some down and pour over your desserts!
• Hellraiser from Grim Reaper – Milk chocolate with ghost chilli, cinnamon, essential oils of sweet orange and clove. Great on its own or melted down and drizzled over fruit skewers.
• Black Widow from Grim Reaper  – 70% cocoa dark chocolate with ghost chilli and essential oils of geranium and lemon. A bold and unusual combination that would lend itself well to a chocolate fondant

The above chocolate bars, while having ghost chilli powder in the recipe, are not stupidly hot. The is natural variation from the mixing, but it comes through as a warming tingle that we find very nice! Plus, it makes you slow down and not eat it all at once, which can only be a good thing!
