Yes, chef, with the Old Town Spice Shop Habanero Sugar, it’s ridiculously easy to jazz up oatmeal, toast, or whipped cream; simply add a generous shake. While those are my daily go-tos, I also love to toss in a generous spoonful when baking chocolate brownies or whipping up a mousse. If only I could get this yumma flavored sugar in 5lb.bags, I’d have a pantry shelf ready for anything!
