Dutched Cocoa
HOME-GROWN PEPPERS
From our love of imported dutched cocoa combined with a variety of peppers from our Utah garden, Free Range Fudge was born. The essence of a variety of peppers are distilled into a rich hot fudge, to be served over ice cream, or drizzled over our array of foods in our very own line of Spicy Snacks.
