Pour sugar into a medium saucepan and place on medium-low heat. Slowly stir sugar with a heat-proof spoon. Sugar will melt gradually. Keep stirring until sugar is melted and turns a golden caramel colour.
Remove from heat and carefully pour in cream. The mixture will bubble up and steam, so be careful to avoid it.
Put back on low heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Whisk in butter one tablespoon at a time until caramel is well combined. Add Chili Hot Flavour Drops. Cool caramel until room temp or until ready to assemble the dish.
Assembly
To make platter, slice off the top rind of the Brie cheese. Leave the side and bottom rinds. Place cheese in the centre of a large platter.
Spoon chili caramel sauce over brie and then add chopped almonds.
Arrange fruit slices around the cheese and caramel. Enjoy!

Notes
Safety Note: Melted sugar is crazy hot. Do not be tempted to taste it, and be careful not to splash - it’s like lava. Any tasting should be reserved until after the finished caramel has completely cooled. Flavour Tip: The spiciness of the caramel can be adjusted to personal taste. If you want it only slightly spicy, the Chili Hot can be added after the caramel has cooled. Just add Chili Hot 5 drops at a time, stirring well to incorporate before tasting for preference.
