Yes, this is real. At the
Chocolate Covered Company they sell not only chocolate covered strawberries and bananas, but also these sweet and spicy poppers with a real kick. The combo of chocolate and chili goes far back. The Aztecs and the Mayans pioneered the fusion first.
The tasters at
Huffington Post gave this particular jalapeno and chocolate amalgamation mixed reviews, but if you want to try a chocolate-chili flavor explosion here are a few other options.
1. Chili Hot Chocolate
2.
Mole Negro
3. Ancho Chili Brownies
4. Chipotle Chocolate Chili
5. Chocolate Chili Cookies
Would you try chilies with chocolate?

Ruination of chocolate! RIP yumminess.
actually, mole negro is very delicious!
A chocolate covered jalapeno sounds repulsive. The other dishes are great. It's one thing to add a pinch of chilli powder to your cocoa or a tablespoon of cocoa to your chilli, but I would never go in the kitchen and dip jalapenos in chocolate. That's worse than chocolate and bacon.
Chocolate covered jalapenos don't sound appealing to me. However, the other things do. I have had chocolate with chili before and brownies with cayenne pepper. Pretty good.
I've actually been in a chocolate shop that sold chocolate dipped jalapenos! Not interested in trying them. According to the cashier, there are some people who go there regularly for them...and then there are people who buy them to dare their friends/family. I do like the idea of chocolate with a little kick, but not blatantly spicy.
sweet, but deadly. no, doesn't sound like a good combination to me.
I have tried mole negro. Everything else I would try, too. I am adventerous. I love spicy and sweet, so I probably would like it together.
the peppers in the first pic look delicious... but i doubt they are lol ;)
I feel a little bit nauseous now.
I've always been a fan of chili flavored chocolate. My mouth is watering looking at those brownies. Now... the chocolate-covered jalapenos... that might be going a bit too far.
Sure, why not?!? Actually, I wouldn't doubt they go rather nice together.
