For anyone who doesn’t know, these are habanero peppers, not Hungarian wax peppers. Orders of magnitude hotter. I found a produce employee and let him know. If anyone bought those thinking they were as labeled they would be in for a surprise.

We use serranos on a chicken dish occasionally. I like a side of some sizzled jalapenos (and garlic) heated up with a batch of green beans. You're right about habaneros! Yikes! ChatGPT tells me:

"Serrano peppers are generally hotter than jalapeños. On the Scoville scale, which measures the heat of peppers, serrano peppers typically range from 10,000 to 23,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), while jalapeños range from 2,500 to 8,000 SHU. So, serrano peppers are hotter than jalapeños on average.​
Habanero peppers, on the other hand, are even hotter than serranos. They typically range from 100,000 to 350,000 SHU, making them significantly hotter than both serranos and jalapeños. Habaneros are known for their fruity flavor and intense heat, which can be overwhelming for those not accustomed to spicy foods.​
