Originating from the USA, the Chocolate Bhutlah is a fearsome cross between the legendary Bhut Jolokia and the fiery Douglah 7 Pod. Bred by Steven McLaurin, this superhot chilli is celebrated for its blistering heat and striking looks. The plant thrives in pots, reaching up to a metre tall with lush, bushy foliage. Its large pods start green and mature into a deep chocolate brown, adding visual intrigue to its intense reputation. A prolific producer, the Chocolate Bhutlah is a favourite among hot sauce makers and extreme heat seekers, delivering a bold burn that’s not for the faint of heart.
