chinense Does anyone actually like the flavor of a chocolate scorpion?

I don't think they taste very good and they kick my stomachs ass. It's also a really bitter burn. What do you guys think?

I don't like the flavor of any fresh superhots. They have a chemical taste that really overpowers food. The best tasting fresh super, IMO is the Chocolate Bhut. Other than that, I dry and powder all peppers. Great for adding to food and the flavor of the pepper pops more.

Yeah, they're good in moderation with food.

I used ChocScorpion powder in Frank'sRedHot Chicken Dip and it was pretty awesome

I like them. I grew them the last 2 seasons.

The only way I like supers is in a sauce containing fruit or in a powder.

Yeah sure they are good. As soon as you smoke, dry and powder them!

I guess I meant fresh. I'll eat them in a powder and I like them in a powder. Fresh just doesn't do it for me.

Not many people enjoy the flavor and heat of them in their raw form, mixed with other foods is a different story.

I like all chocolate superhots in my jamaican jerk recipes.

I like supers and I have quite a few chocolates. They do make better powder than what they taste like fresh. Given that, I didn't care for the chocolate scorpions I tried from 3 different sources. They taste rather plain for a chocolate, and they did have a sightly bitter taste that some others don't have. Tom

I actually prefer tastes a lot of people on this forum seem to dislike. The bitter and pungent flavors I found in the chocolate scorpion are perfect for me and I paired them with almost any hardy meal I could find. Blew trough a box of them way too quick. Other peppers seemed to stay on standby when those were around.

I used to not like "IPA" beers or Islay Whiskeys/scotch but those amazing bitter flavors soon unfolded into something much more grand than the previously preferred flavors I had become comfortable with. I really enjoyed the Chocolate Scorpion flavors for its raw pungency and power. Many different flavors hidden in all that pungent bitter goodness. It's not a bright candy and sunshine flavor at all...but that's what makes it so good.
