A chocolate Scotch Bonnet is a type of hot pepper known for its distinctive appearance and intense heat. It's a variety of Capsicum chinense, characterized by its wrinkled, lantern-shaped fruit that matures to a deep chocolate brown color. Despite its rich brown hue, it is exceptionally spicy, with a Scoville heat rating ranging from 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). This pepper is often used to add fiery heat and a unique flavor to various dishes, particularly in Caribbean and African cuisine.
