Notes

I used Tabasco hot sauce as my hot sauce of choice.
You can replace the hot sauce with chili powder if you’d prefer. In that case, use 1-2 teaspoon instead of 1-2 tbsp
Some recipes include cloves, cinnamon, or nutmeg, which would be delicious options too!
For a different sugar option, you can use brown coconut sugar if desired.
