The Chocolate Deadpool pepper is an intensely hot, superhot pepper created by Jeff Remmert. Known for its striking appearance with gnarly, blistered, deep brown skin, it's a cross between Carolina Reapers, 7 Pot Red, and a Chocolate Bhutlah. While it features smoky, fruity undertones before the heat kicks in, its flavor is often described as secondary to its extreme, unyielding heat, which is reported to be even higher than a Carolina Reaper's.
