Wonder if you grew Habaneros? Those (aka "Scotch bonnets") are one of
the hotter peppers!
Not trying to be a pepper snob, but habaneros and scotch bonnets
aren't the same pepper, even though they are called the same in a lot
of places. They're very closely related and similarly hot, but hail
from different regions.
Try this site to see the slight difference in shape:

For mild peppers, I prefer anaheims. They are great stuffed and made
into chili rellenos.
I like mild peppers as well. Never hot just to be hot without flavor.
Currently have planted:
Sweets: Corbaci, Red Corno di Toro, Cubanelle, Feherezon, Italia,
Marconi, Nardello, and Paprika.
Hots: Aci Sevri, Cascabel, De Arbol, Jalapeno, Poblano, Sweet
Habanero, Relleno.

PS: And for the OP. If you intend on saving seed, don't plant sweets
with hots, as they cross easily. The fruit from this year won't be
hot, but the children plants probably will be.
