Looking at all these positive reviews, I guess it’s just me, but when I ate the Lindt chili chocolate it irritated my throat quite a bit…guess I should have let it melt away.

Lindt Excellent Chili bar is to kill for….. The chocolate is smooth and rich followed with a little spice of chili.

I absolutely LOVE this stuff! If I see it in a store I just have to purchase at least two or three bars to make sure I have a plentiful supply. And yes, there is always some left over as the satisfaction it gives me makes 2 squares enough to satisfy my chocolate craving.

I often wonder if we’re not all engaging in some form of mass hysteria, when it comes to these quirky combinations. I had the Lindt Excellence Chili and thought it was utterly horrible. The taste starts like regular 70% dark chocolate, but as the chocolate begins to melt (and the pepper oils begin to settle onto the tongue and esophogeal track), a creeping, burning sensation builds. Within 30 seconds of swallowing, I was left with a cloying aftertaste and a firey sensation that is reminiscent of mild heartburn.

I gave samples of this bar to 4 other people I work with. All thought the same thing I did.

I applaud Lindt for pushing the envelope, but this is definitely a dud.

Just a follow-up…about a month ago as I was strolling through my local Fred Meyer (Kroger)…there it was! They now carry the Lindt Chili chocolate! Something I’ve discovered since that day, which I wasn’t able to try when I stumbled on this chocolate in France, is that it goes great with espresso. A nice treat I (too often) enjoy at home.

I don’t know what you guys see in this chocolate. I love chocolate and everything, but I don’t like dark chocolate, and to add chili?
That’s just crazy! When I first tasted it, all I could taste was the dark chocolate, but then a few seconds later at the back of my throat I tasted the chili.
That chocolate was the worst chocolate I have ever had!

I found these at my local Grocery Outlet store for a dollar a piece (3.5 oz size).
I only got one to try it out… and love it! I think I’m going back tomorrow to buy quite a few. For that price, awesome Christmas gifts, and awesome to keep around the house.

They also had the Peruvian Extra Dark for a dollar a bar. I might buy a few of those for baking… but they weren’t nearly as good as the Chili Dark.
