Oh man, I just bought in some Valrohna 72% xocopili chocolate pearls..now they are great for sauces,especially with venison. However, I thought I would try one...if you like chili chocolate, you will LOVE these. They are 72% cocoa with paprika, espelette pepper and cardamom. Very dangerous for serious chocolate lovers LOL

Sounds like axolotl which are salamanders! LOL They taste beautiful though, kind of bittersweet witha slightly hot peppery after taste.

You can get them from Sabato in Auckland. I get mine from down our way, they are lovely to just suck on and being 72% with the added "kick" makes them very tasty

I find that chilli chocolate makes me feel very ill to the stomach - almost like throwing up.I love chilli and I love chocolate but have tried two different connoisseur chilli chocolates and both had the same effect.I generally have a cast iron stomach - anyone else had this problem?

Seriously, no I cant say I have had a problem. These "pearls" are marble size pure 72% cocoa. They dont have chilli in them,but pepper,paprika and cardamom, they are spicy without being over the top

They do sound dangerous - I also love Shoc (?) chilli/lime chocolate.Probably better for me if they did make me ill but my stomach is truly cast iron.

That's where I first found it Pam but have found a source here.Whew.

I like the idea of them added to a sauce for meat. Thanks Cooks - Sabato is close by.

You will enjoy them BJ and i would imagine, they would be pretty low carb for you. I found a lovely cervena recipe with a sauce using these pearls.
