I'm pictured preparing to bite into a McIlhenny Company Tabasco Chocolate. Were there a second picture, I'd still be smiling. The chocolate tasted yummy - a bit creamy, a bit dark and high quality, and no hint of spice.
Were there a third picture, though, you'd see flames racing from my nostrils, mouth, eyeballs, eardrums, and - well - I'll stop there. That is, after I enjoyed the chocolate, I felt the need to drink from a fire hydrant. But I'm a wimp with hot stuff like this. It might be too mild for you.
There's no false advertising on McIlhenny's part. Their Tabasco Chocolate includes a detectable portion of Tabasco. And chocolate. I didn't taste either together, but I certainly tasted each one.
I give this hot chocolate a 7. It's good, not great. There's no mixture of the two. You could simply buy chocolate and pour tabasco on it, if you want the sensation. Then again, for a nice gal like me, it was the most excitement my mouth has had in a while. That's why I gave it a 7, rather than a 6 or 6.5.
Cheers, all.
Have a sweet and/or spicy new week, as August rolls into September.
You inspired me to add Tobasco sauce to the meal I was eating. Being a lover of spice, I'd like to try some of this chocolate.
ReplyDeleteYou'd be fine and call me a mega-wimp, Michael. I'd like to see you incorporate Tobasco in a dare. =)
DeleteWe did ;)

I know chilli eaters who would say you have a sensitive tongue, Robyn. That's quite a compliment, don't you think? :)
ReplyDeleteI suppose, GB. Though some do like like a woman whose tongue is too sensitive. Smiles.
DeleteI have eaten chilli chocolate (a bit meh) but not tried tabasco chocolate. And probably won't.
ReplyDeleteMichael could probably do an amazing challenge video out of it though...
Have a great week.
Yes, I want to see Michael do that. Thanks, EC.
DeleteO_O I can't imagine those two flavors working together.
ReplyDeleteThey really don't, Misha.
DeleteOh, I'm a purist when it comes to chocolate and don't like to spice it up, unless of course I melt it and rub it all over Uncle Jeffy's body. Now that's spicy chocolate to me!
ReplyDeleteMmm, I'm waiting for my Uncle Jeffy to try that one, JKIR. Now you're talking.
DeleteWhat? Why? Who is thinking, "y'know what this sweet chocolate needs? Hot sauce." And of all hot sauces, Tabasco is the worst of all hot sauces. But it also gets such a high rating from you, that's where I'm most shocked. Are you just being a spicy sweety yourself?
ReplyDeleteI WAS too generous, wasn't I? Guess I've been in a good mood these days. I can't explain it, Pickleope Von Pickleope.
DeleteSeems like an odd combination of tastes.
ReplyDeleteIt is. It doesn't work, Alex. Like I told Pickleope, I was too generous with my rating.
DeleteI am intrigued... Hot and sweet, just like me.... :)
ReplyDeleteJeremy
With a pinch of quirk, the way I like it.
DeleteI'm definitely going to pass on this one. I am not a fan of spicy/hot things!
ReplyDeleteGood call, JoJo.
DeleteTabasco Chocolate? Leave it to you to find the most unusual combinations! I am intrigued...but not tempted enough to try it :)
ReplyDeleteAnd of all places, Martha, I found it at Bed, Bath and Beyond!
DeleteI haven't tried Tabasco Chocolate but I did eat an entire big bar of dark chocolate with chilies. Delicious! Until it worked its way through my digestive system. Ai - ai - ai !!! Won't make that mistake again.
ReplyDeleteIt hits much later, doesn't it? Yikes!
DeleteMy mouth will stay tabasco free. But at least its a burning sensation that goes away lol
ReplyDeleteYou're smart to keep your mouth safe, Pat Hatt.
DeleteI like chile chocolates, but I'm more of a habanero chocolate kind of guy, with some cinnamon for flavor. It's like Mexican hot chocolate come to life.
ReplyDeleteI also like chile chocolates, BnB, and Mexican hot chocolate is amazing. Mmm, a dash of cinnamon too...
Deleteyou are far braver than me. I"m not keen on the hot stuff, baby.
ReplyDeleteHave a kick ass week!!!
Same to you, my friend.
DeleteHot chocolate! I like hot and spicy as much as anyone, but I do not believe food has to hurt to be good.
ReplyDeleteDid the flames match your hair?
They were even bright, Jono. Flames are naturally red. Smiles.
DeleteSome things should never go together!
ReplyDeleteTrue, Sage. Sage words.
DeleteAnything that gets yer pretty face plastered all over the page...
ReplyDeleteLOL, I do have my face plastered all over the page. But I also have Pat Hatt's Profannity Granny, and she's a looker. Right?
DeleteI like chocolate. I really, really do. I just won't eat chocolate with certain things.
ReplyDeleteAnother person smarter than me. Smiles.
DeleteI read that the Mayans, who discovered chocolate, mixed it with chili. Sounds like what you sampled.
ReplyDeleteSimilar, though not as good.
DeleteI have tried some yummy spicy chocolates by Theo and such. Didn't know Tobasco had one. I like spice, so yeah, I'd probably enjoy it. Glad your mouth got some excitement~
ReplyDeleteHaha. Thank you, Shell. Let me know if you try it.
DeleteOh my..I think I missed your post last week so will have to go there next. I am not one for burn my mouth off hot. I once found, by a bad accident, a small hot chili pepper in my noodle dish. To say I turned into the devil incarnate breathing fire but looking like one of the stooges is an understatement. I will just take my chocolate:)
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. I hate those bad accidents, Birgit. One can never get enough ice water afterwards.

Oh my. I don't do well with hot and spicy foods, so I don't think this would be for me. You're a brave soul to try it! :D I like my chocolate all by its lonesome or perhaps paired with nuts or caramel or peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteYoung self could abide tabasco; my mortal remains cannot. Favorite chocolate is chocolate chips sneaked out of the refrigerator when I was a kid, still is. Sure enjoyed your post!
ReplyDeleteLook, I can do flaming hot Cheetos. But to put that on chocolate? Blasphemy!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby loves this stuff. I have never tried it, and might not after visualizing your third photo.
ReplyDeleteThe things they come up with...
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of a wimp as well. It drives Aaron crazy. I think I'll just leave this one to those with stronger mouths than I. :)
You know what they say about a 7 in the mouth don't you? !!! hahaha
