These cookies are the best of both worlds. It delivers in sweetness from the chocolate bar and chocolate chips, and provides that nice kick from the Trinidad Scorpion pepper. If you're a big fan of chocolate chip cookies with a kick of heat or are dying to try some spicy chocolate cookies, then you won't be disappointed with Randy's Double Chocolate Scorpion Cookies! These cookies will be one of the most unforgettable cookies you'll ever have in your life, and we couldn't stop control ourselves from eating the whole batch. Thank you Randy for sharing your delightful recipe!

The key to this recipe is crushing the scorpion pepper into a paste and mixing with the chocolate to melt. Intense heat that is perfectly balanced by the sweetness and flavor of the two chocolates...enjoy! - Randy



INGREDIENTS

  • ½ Trinidad Scorpion pepper, roughly chopped
  • 1 bar (4 ounces) semisweet chocolate, chopped

  1. Put the Scorpion pepper and a big pinch, about ¼ - ½ tsp, of sugar into the bowl of a mortar and pestle and grind into a paste.
