Rut Roh. I could have sworn that Ghost peppers and chocolate Ghost peppers were of similar heat when I planted the Chocolate one this year (had a second year Ghost Peer plant to go with it. The Chocolate Ghost pepper is growing pods like crazy so I thought I would re read up on them :o

The chocolate ghost pepper, also known as the Bhut Jolokia, has a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating of 800,000–2,000,000, which is considered extreme heat. This is hotter than the average ghost pepper, which has a rating of around 1 million SHU. The chocolate ghost pepper's heat builds up over several minutes and can create a powerful endorphin rush.
The chocolate ghost pepper is a natural variant of the red Bhut Jolokia that originated in Northeastern India. It has a wrinkly, pointy shape and a brown hue, and its flavor is slightly sweeter with a hint of smoky.
