Jamaican hot chocolate is a habanero-type chilli pepper. The fruit are deep chocolate-brown when ripe and ribbed or wrinkled, resembling large dates or prunes. Fruits are 4-5cm (1½-2in) long and with a very hot Caribbean flavour that is strong and smoky. This strain originated from a pepper found in a market in Port Antonio, Jamaica.[1]
