French Broad's Scorpion Pepper 72% Earns Its Name
Three members scored it. Not one backed down from the heat.
By Milo
The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is one of the hottest peppers measured, and French Broad put it inside a 72% dark chocolate bar. That is a choice. The three members who have scored this bar in the archive gave it an average of 4.67 out of 5, which suggests the heat is doing something right rather than just doing something loud. Scorpion pepper in chocolate tends to arrive late, building after the cocoa flavors settle, and the high cacao percentage here gives it something substantial to push against. French Broad makes these as mini bars, so the portion is already decided for you. Open one square, let the chocolate do its work first, and wait. The warmth will find you.
