Have I been missing something?

New flavour here... interesting... but afterburn rather defeats the object :D
 
the original chocolatl from Mexico was flavored with chilis, too. Never tried it, though, so can't venture an opinion. :)
 
bleh, sounds horrible. ( well, Kinda.) but they say that you shouldn't knock it till you try it so... I'll have to do that first.


How about watermellon&pepper jelly on vanilla frozen yogurt?
 
It has a good strong dark chocolate taste (40% cocoa) and the chilli doesn't hit till after the choc has gone... weird is one description.
 
i had some chocolate-chili flavoured ice cream recently that was very very good... the chili was only very light, so it it was still refreshing. but tasted very nice.

also had some very hot chili chocolate once (was quite expensive, too) which was nice, but i couldn't eat much at a time. from the same place i got that i also bought some chocolate with salt (biggish salt-grains) in it, which i really liked. it formed a nice contrast, to have the sweet chocolate and every now and then come across one of those salt grains.
 
In New America we will execute people who eat such bilge. Poor taste will be a capital crime.
 
I have chilli on my chilli. I'm a real capsicum addict.
 
We have chili chocolate bars here, haven't tried one yet, but I have had a chili-chocolate Tim-Tam (biscuit, cookie thing - Aussie delight par excellence - apparently somewhat akin to the UK Penguin, don't know a US parallel).

They're surprisingly good, and I'm not a chili fan particularly.
 
Mexican hot chocolate is delicious. There's more of a cinnamon note than a chili note. Nestle's Abuelita is a very mild version.

We have some of the dark chili chocolate. You kinda have to like dark chocolate to get into it (I have no choice since I'm allergic to milk chocolate), it DOES have a glow, but it works well with the cacao.

On the chili subject, a dear friend of mine makes desserts for her husband's restaurant (a blend of French from his training and Mexican from his homeland), and one of her gems is a strawberry-habanero sorbet. It's the most starlingly wonderful mix of sweet and hot I've ever had in my mouth.
