<p>Chocolate is arguably the most popular and loved sweet in the entire world. So everyone knows and is most likely to have tasted chocolate once in their lifetime. However, those who are fans of hot pepper are also likely to have an idea of habanero - which is a type of chilli and is known for its spiciness.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But you probably may not&nbsp;have heard of Chocolate Habanero.</p>

<p>What exactly is Chocolate Habanero?</p>

<p>No, it is not a line of spicy candies.</p>

<p>To the unversed, here's all about the Chocolate Habanero which appears like chocolate but tastes like habanero.</p>

<h2><strong>Understanding Chocolate Habanero</strong></h2>

<p>The Chocolate Habanero pepper is a cultivar of the habanero peppers which is bred selectively to ensure that heavier, larger and spicier fruit is produced.</p>

<p>Chocolate Habanero is like the Red Savina habanero which is filled with serious punch of spiciness. It is estimated to contain 425,000 to 577,000 Scoville heat units.</p>

<p>Chocolate Habanero pepper is spicier than the Red Savina and has unique earthy and smoky undertones which perfectly blend with the habanero sweetness.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What does Chocolate Habanero taste like?</strong></h2>

<p>Generally, the chocolate peppers have the flavours of their original strains but they also have additional earthy flavours which are not likely to be present in the parent peppers.</p>

<p>The flavours of Chocolate Habanero pepper are very similar to regular Habanero peppers which are sweet and full of flavours. They are also likely to have a smoky flavour which is missing from regular Habaneros.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The reason for these new flavours can be the pepper's continuous crossbreeding and long maturity periods which make them riper than others.</p>

<p>The chocolate pepper can be categorised into two types on the basis of the flavours: sweet chocolate peppers and hot chocolate peppers.</p>

<p>Sweet chocolate peppers do not contain much heat like other chocolate peppers. However, they are filled with fruity and treacly flavours which makes them addictive.</p>

<p>Although some people prefer sweetness over the heat in the chocolate peppers, others choose the face-melting sensation which is present in the hot chocolate peppers.</p>

<p>This kind of chocolate pepper appears more dried up and reflects its real hotness.</p>
