I trust www.pepperlover.com. The germination rate of their seeds are pretty high. Shipping free and minimum 20 seeds is remarkable. I highly recommended www.pepperlover.com.

Never been to pepperlover but i will take a look. I originally went looking for Aji pineapple seeds as well as some type of chocolate Hab. I have ordered seeds from Trade Winds Fruit as well as Peppermania before and had good experiences with both. Trade winds fruit isn't carrying the Aji pineapple so i was going with peppermania. I wasn't expecting so many types of chocolate habanero peppers. It is tough to make a decision. Thanks for the recomendation

T-bones.....Last year I grew chocolate scotch bonnets, but I received a Jamaican Hot Chocolate pod from another forum member. I really like the JHC. It had excellent heat with a great taste. I have some JHC seeds germinating as we speak. That's my suggestion. I would try the Jamaican Hot Chocolate. It's all preference though, so you may want to try a couple varieties to see which one you like best.

I have grown chocolate habs for the past few years. Very hot and has a great smokey flavor. Probably my favorite pepper for making pepper dust and pepper jelly.

Do you have contact info?

I have chocolate scotch bonnet and chocolate habanero seeds in soil. I wonder if these are the same as Jamaican hot chocolate.

I can't speak to the others, but, I have grown the chocolate hab from peppermania and was happy with it.

Peppernovice - thanks for the suggestion. I saw Chocolate SB's for sale on another site and was curious about them but had not heard many people talking about growing them. JHC will definitely be on the short list. Thanks.

Jcav8ter- they really sound like a great pepper. I have a bunch of peppers in the freezer waiting for me to find the time to make some pepper jelly. Couldn't hurt to throw a little chocolate into the mix. I have updated my members page which now has my e-mail address. if you have any extra seeds, and would like to trade, send me an e-mail and i will send you a list of seeds i have. Thanks

Jifjifjif - I am not really sure but I think they are three different peppers. I would be curious to hear your opinion on any differences between the two when you get some pods. I have never grown any chocolates and decided at the last minute to add some this year.

I've got some chocolate hab seeds for trade if you are interested.

I wonder why my post was duplicated. The same post shows twice....one on the 16th and once on the 17th. I didn't post the same thing twice. This happened to me once earlier this week too. Hmmm....

jifjifjif: I think you are soaking those chocolate habs in bottles of vodka before you are eating them.

I should be all set with the chocolate Habs thanks to the generosity of jcav8ter (thanks again john) but I will send you an e-mail I may have something you are looking for.

Actually peppermaniaâÂÂs description of the JHC reads âÂÂsimilar/same as Chocolate Scotch Bonnetâ so it looks like they may be the same after all. I thought the double post was a trying to get me to admit I was wrong about them being different.
I ended up ordering some JHC and will, with any luck, get to try both this year.
Thanks everyone,
Tim

I hear that the JHC's have a very nice smoky flavor. Though I've personally never had them.

Yes, Jamaican Hot Chocolate are quite delicious. slight smoky flavor, great amounts of heat. I made a sauce with JHC, Jamaican Gold and Carrots this fall that I use on everything. It's a unique taste, very pleasing if you can handle the heat.

My friend, Rachel, just did a peppermeister roulette video challenge on her blog and the second pepper she eats is a Jamaican Hot Chocolate.

Here is a link that might be useful: Rachel can take the heat!

It's not a chocolate Hab, but it is a white chocolate chili pepper. Personally this is my pick for a chocolate pepper.
