Bhut Jolokia Chocolate

Bhut Jolokia Chocolate

The Bhut Jolokia Chocolate, also known as the Chocolate Ghost Pepper, is a crazy hot chili pepper. The name pretty much sums up what you’re dealing with!

Flavor

This pepper is distinguished by its sweeter and more delicious flavor profile compared to the red Bhut Jolokia, yet retains the signature intense heat. The Bhut Jolokia Chocolate is especially celebrated in the spicy food community for its blend of sweetness and smokiness, making it a sought-after variety among chili enthusiasts.

Heat

Chocolate Ghost Pepper heat ranges a great deal, as is typical for superhots. Growing conditions dictate the final heat. Typically the chilis will clock in at around 1 million Scoville Heat Units, putting it into a category of a superhot pepper. It has a deceivingly slow burn, characteristic of ghost peppers, hitting you with a lingering and intense heat experience.

Growing

Growing superhot peppers like the Bhut Jolokia Chocolate can be a rewarding yet challenging endeavor. These peppers typically require a longer growing season and more warmth than milder varieties. Start by germinating the seeds indoors, ideally using a heat mat or placing them on a warm surface like the top of a refrigerator to maintain a consistent temperature between 80-90F (27-32C). Ensure ample light for seedlings – a grow light can be beneficial in areas with less natural sunlight. When transplanting outdoors, choose a location with full sun exposure and well-drained soil. Superhots also benefit from regular watering and feeding, but be cautious not to overwater. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. Since superhot peppers take longer to mature, patience is key. Protecting the plants from extreme temperatures and pests will also be crucial to achieve a successful harvest.
