| I think the Chocolates are more earthy, less fruity but way hotter than their red brothers! Kevin |

| Well, I've only grown the Chocolate Habanero....so my experience is limited. However, let me tell you that the aroma of the Chocolate Hab is absolutely overwhelming. If you mix a Choc Hab in with your salsa, the dominant flavor/aroma will be the Choc Hab. I'm probably not remembering this correctly, but I seem to have read something about aromatic Like Kevin says, the flavor is more earthy and smokey (sort of)....and hot.

| I will be waiting for a review.... ;-) Those Chocolates will burn the hell out of you. They'll have your friends weeping..... Because the Chocolate Hab flavor/aroma is so overwhelming, I prefer to use them by themselves.

| thanks again josh, I am one of those rare individuals who really likes super hot food, but mostly I really love the different nuances of flavor that various, especially ripe chiles posess, I am fortunate enough, to be able to taste many different flavors even through the heat, and being a chef, I use them in a multitude of different ways, including, desserts, beverages, and of course good old fashion plain, anyway, the point is your post is now making my mouth water for super hot grilled chiles, if only the super hots didnt take the longest to mature! Curses! ps. thanx for taking the time to respond paul |
