Giving “hot chocolate” a whole new meaning
I like dark chocolate. And I like hot peppers. Thanks to Lindt it’s now possible to enjoy both at once. The company sells a chocolate bar that combines “Lindt’s finest aromatic dark chocolate with the well balanced spice of premium red chili.” It gives “hot chocolate” a whole new meaning!
I know it sounds like a somewhat freakish combination, but it’s really pretty good. You may be wondering at this point whether this is some kind of an advertisement, or if I get a commission from Lindt. Actually, my wife got me one of these bars for Easter, and the only purpose in writing about it is so that I can say that my wife is one of the most thoughtful people I know. I love you, baby.

I am going to have to get that for my wife. Me, I am a mild milk chocolate weenie myself.
I’ll bet you put milk and sugar in your coffee, too. Weenie.
I only put sugar in mine so people think it is man coffee, not weenie coffee. I do a pretty good job at covering it up… Oh yeah, I cant stand dark chocolate.
Weenie.
Now that I know it’s safe to eat, I’ll have to try it. I’ve seen it in the store, but was wary of the combination.
It’s an interesting sensation. It tastes like dark chocolate, but it burns like hot chili peppers.
I usually put hot sauce on my PB&J sandwiches. Maybe next time I’ll throw in some chocolate syrup too.
Brother, you are definitely NOT a weenie. Hot sauce on your PB&J. You get major manpoints for that.
This is the sauce I use, incidentally. Highly recommended.
I’d tell you what I like, but I don’t like being called a weenie.
Weenie.
I am a major dark chocolate fan. Best thing in the world, to me, is Godiva dark chocolate covered cherries!
Manpoints for the dark chocolate. Now how about your coffee?
Okay, yes. I do enjoy dark chocolate, but not hot peppers! I’m such a wimp. A little coffee with my cream and sugar? Guilty as charged!

Too funny… a little coffee with your cream and sugar! I don’t know if it will do any good to call you a weenie, though, since you already called yourself a wimp!
I like my chocolate and coffee black. I am no weenie.
JD, you are a man after my own heart.
I love you too! You are worth all the chocolate in the world, dark or milk. That let’s you know your extreme value to me, given how much I like chocolate.
Speaking of chocolate, I like milk chocolate – plain, with nuts, with caramel or altogether. Yum! Lightly dark is okay, but too dark is bitter. Of course, I can handle it if I dip it in my weenie cup of coffee. My favorite coffee is ultra-weenie, a caramel latte with sugar.
Baby, I’m not even sure you can call that coffee.
You can if you get it from Starbucks.
Besides, you know I’m a weenie when it comes to coffee.
I just don’t know how I feel about this Barry.
About what, Isaac–the candy bar or the comment thread?
The candy bar! I’ve never been a fan of dark chocolate. I can’t even imagine what that combination would taste like. But I do enjoy the comment thread!
My wife made me a “Catfish-Pizza” because she knows I love both. Funny, I’m feeling the same love.
Great Blog-site brother….well done.
Hey, John. Thanks for dropping by. I love you.
Barry, We (here in Switzerland) have a huge chocolate selection in the grocery stores like America has a huge cereal selection. There are often new flavors that hit the shelves. “The Swiss are the world’s largest consumers of chocolate in the world, with an annual per capita consumption of 10 kilograms (22.04 lbs.) per year.”
(Statistics indicate Chinese citizens annually consume less than 50 grams of chocolate per person.)

I could definitely eat 22.04 pounds of chocolate in a year. No, on second thought, it probably wouldn’t take me that long…
