Hey Sci, my vote would be for a paste for the orange and a sauce for the chocs. Seeing as though the chocs have a passionfruit flavour (to me anyway) why not use a passion fruit base with lime as a ph balancer.
Passionfruit-based Choc Hab sauce? Mmmm! Now there's an idea! I got a kilo of the little BIG suckers sitting in the freezer waiting ever so patiently to be saucerized.
A shout out has gotta go to Stillmanz for these bad boys right here:
I gave one to a mate to try; he comes back later and tells me it was pretty hot but not as hot as a Birds Eye.
That's funny, because after me and another mate munched one down, we distinctly remember it being quite a bit hotter than any Birds Eye we ever ate (especially them ever so mild supermarket 'Birds Eyes'). Methinks someone may have chickened out and tried to wing it......
That was my initial response... Dude, you musta got a dud... then thought about it some more, and every one I've had from the batch has been LETHAL; lava-gut and the works.
And Sci, looking forward to hearing about your sauce!
