Extremely hot peppers ripen to a chocolaty brown when mature.

These shiny, habanero-type peppers are deep chocolate-brown when ripe and ribbed or wrinkled, resembling large dates or prunes. Fruits are 1.5 to 2 inches long with an extremely hot Caribbean flavor that is stong and smoky. Those in the know say that Jamaican Hot Chocolate makes a great hot sauce. This strain originated from a pepper found in a market in Port Antonio, Jamaica.
