HOT!
HOT!
HOT! HOT!
Oh, man! Gimme that glass of milk!
HOT!
Now, gimme the rest of that chocolate.
(proceeds with one bite of chocolate followed by one gulp of milk, until chocolate is gone)
Theo makes fabulous chocolate, amazing chocolate, sell-your-soul-for-another-bite chocolate. From the beans. In a beautiful old brewery next to a ship canal and a bike trail in one of my favorite neighborhoods of Seattle, kitty corner from my LBS. www.theochocolate.com
The Spicy Chile is darn good. 70% cacao. 3 kinds of chili. But not for the faint of heart or dainty of tastebud. I love hot food, and this was HOT. And rich. Complex and multifaceted (once you get past the initial pain).
Chocolate as it was originally consumed, with chili: xocoatl. 'Cept Theo (theobromine, yummy!) put in some sugar and cinnamon and orange and vanilla to make it blissfully painful instead of just painful.
Seriously, it's good. Buy a bar for the spicy food afficionado on your list.

Thank you so much for this link! I've been looking for a gift for my brother-in-law. They brew beer at home, so I got them the Chocolate and Beer Tasting Kit. Yay!!

Yummmmmm. My natural food store has a lot of Theo varieties ... will have to look for that one.
In spite of my dairy allergy I can't stay away from the Sweet Moose hot cocoa... chocolate, chili (but not a lot, just enough to give it a teensy little bite) and cinnamon. Just what I was needing on those cold nights...Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

Knotted - That sounds wonderful. I might have to get some and try it. I love hot food too.
I just started a thread called "chicken posole". It is a recipe that was in the Sunset magazine, and is really tasty. For you, add a little extra red chili!

We missed a trip to the Theo factory when we were in Seattle. I am still sad about it! I have seen the chocolate at REI but it just isn't quite the same.

Oooo... Guajillo chille. That's a bad boy. Somewhat unpredictable. got a smokey deep flavor. Sometimes not that hot. sometimes oh my gawd
hot hot hot.
Bet it goes really well with dark chocolate. gives depth to the chocolate.
okay so marked the page.
