What's the weirdest chocolate you've eaten?

alextrg @alextrg (86) • Malaysia 7 Dec 08

A friend of mine gave me Chilli Chocolate.. It doesnt have that spicy taste, it's more of an after taste, and it lingers at the back of your tongue. Any other strange ones?

Galena I have had chlli chocolate and liked it. Chilli and mint chocolate was odd, as it was hot and cold. but the weirdest is chocolate covered peanuts. chocolate with peanut is too wierd for me. sweet and savoury.
