Montezumas Chocolate Chilli Bonkers Organic Dark Chilli 90g

Chocolate and chilli have been partners for centuries, and Chilli Bonkers celebrates that pairing with style. This 90g bar blends organic dark chocolate with a careful measure of organic ground chilli, creating a treat that starts smooth and finishes with a gentle glow. It is certified organic and suitable for vegans.

Tasting notes

The base is Montezuma's organic 74% dark chocolate, which has a rounded, full flavour without overpowering bitterness. The chilli is introduced slowly: at first you taste rich cocoa, then a warming heat builds at the back of the palate and lingers pleasantly after the chocolate has melted. It is lively rather than fiery, so even those who are wary of spice may find themselves reaching for a second square.

About Montezuma's

Montezuma's began in 2000, when Helen and Simon Pattinson swapped careers in law for chocolate after a trip through South America. Their first shop opened in Brighton, and the chocolate is still crafted in the UK today, now from a base near Chichester in West Sussex. The brand has always had a playful streak, which is why so many bars carry cheeky names, but the approach to ingredients is taken seriously: no palm oil, ever.

How to enjoy it

Grate a little over a bowl of chilli con carne for extra depth, melt it into a spiced hot chocolate on a cold evening, or pair a square with a smoky mezcal or a glass of rich red wine for a memorable tasting moment.

Keeping it at its best

Chocolate is happiest in a cool, dark cupboard well away from heat. Warm rooms, sunny windowsills and car dashboards are best avoided, as melting and re-setting can dull the finish and change the texture.

It is a small indulgence with plenty of character, crafted by a British chocolate maker that has been doing things its own way for more than twenty years.

Add it to your basket alongside a few other Montezuma's favourites and build your own chocolate selection to enjoy at home or give to someone special.

Whether you are treating yourself or searching for a gift that feels a little more thoughtful than the usual supermarket choice, this is a Montezuma's product that is easy to love and easy to share.
