Taco Bell Tests New Reaper Ranch Fries with Sauce Made from Carolina Reaper Peppers

Perhaps looking to give customers all the spicy heat they can handle, Taco Bell is testing new Reaper Ranch Fries featuring Reaper Ranch sauce made from Carolina Reaper chili peppers.

The Carolina Reaper, a hybrid of a ghost pepper and red habanero, has held the Guinness World Records title of "the world's hottest chili pepper" since 2013. Reaper Ranch sauce is a blend of Reaper Pepper hot sauce and ranch.

The new menu item starts testing today in Cincinnati, OH and will be available there for a limited time through mid-September.

Reaper Ranch Fries consists of an order of seasoned fries paired with Reaper Ranch sauce for dipping and costs $1.29. There's also a Supreme version that features seasoned fries topped with nacho cheese sauce, seasoned beef, Reaper Ranch sauce, diced tomatoes, and sour cream for $2.49.
