Has anybody ever tried this? I've read that peppers infused in oils, like olive oil, could lead to the growth of botulism in the oil. I was thinking of infusing some fresh peppers from our garden in melted cocoa butter and then using some of the cocoa butter in a batch of dark chocolate.

I was curious if folks have tried this with cocoa butter. Or, is it just too dangerous?

Cheers,
