The Wicked-reep

The heat sneaks up on you about two seconds after the chocolate melts, and it's a warm, smoky burn rather than a spicy kick. Ancho and chipotle in a 60% dark bar sounded gimmicky to me, but the spice actually lingers nicely instead of overpowering the cocoa. Already plotting how to ration the next 2

I wasn't sure about chili in a 60% dark bar but the heat builds slowly and never overpowers the chocolate. Ate half the 2.8 oz bar in one sitting, which says plenty.

I was expecting heat but the spice blend here is sneaky warm rather than spicy, more like a gentle tingle that builds. The 60% dark base is smooth enough that it doesn't fight the chilies, and the bar disappeared way faster than I planned.
