INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (or more) habanero pepper
  • 200g (7 oz) (2 1/3 cup) ounces marshmallow creme
  • 540g (19 oz) (3 cups) milk chocolate chips
  • 330 g (11.5 oz) (1 1/2 cups) white sugar
  • 166g (5.8 oz) (2/3 cup) evaporated milk
  • 58g (2 oz) (1/4 cup) butter
  • 4g (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

DIRECTIONS

  • Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper
  • Heat a large saucepan to medium heat.
  • Put the pepper (as many as you can handle) into a food processor with a bit of the evaporated milk. The longer you blitz it, the higher the spice level will be. Strain mixture and save for later.
  • Add marshmallow creme, sugar, remainder of the evaporated milk, butter and salt to the saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat and add chocolate chips, habanero/milk mixture, and vanilla. Stir until melted and uniform.
  • Pour into an 8×8 pan and chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 3 hours.
  • Remove from pan, peel off parchment paper, and cut into squares
