With Cinco de Mayo just around the corner, get prepared to
add some spice to your confections. You can add spice to nearly anything – from
truffles to bark to peanut brittle. Have fun with it!
Some ideas for adding a hint of spice: red paper flakes,
cinnamon, melted cinnamon red hots, ground chili powder or you can buy chili
pepper flavor oils. Take a day and experiment in the kitchen to see what
flavors blend best with your products. Don’t forget about the all-important
taste test – get a number of people to test your creations before putting them
up for sale.
Don’t forget to top off your creations with red paper flakes
for added presentation! (And so that no one picks it up and gets a big surprise
in their mouth)!
