Can u please suggest a milder version of the barbecue sauce? I love the idea but the hot sauce and catsup would really be too spicy for me

Thanks for the wonderful sauces, Sudipa ! They give you a nice break from the conventional tomato and cheese sauces. Do you think a variation with a paste of ground peanuts will taste as good as the peanut butter variation for the peanut sauce?
