Introducing Death by Chocolate — the heavyweight champion born right here at Harmony Springs Farm. This F2 hybrid is a dark, menacing cross that delivers knockout heat and rich, smoky chocolate flavor. Each pod has a deep brown color with heavy wrinkles that hint at the burn waiting inside.
 
This pepper isn’t just famous on the farm — it’s earned legend status in competition. Death by Chocolate delivered knockout blows two years running at the PepperFest Extreme Pepper Eating Contest, leaving seasoned heat chasers gasping for milk.
 
Grown and stabilized right here in Tennessee, this line continues to surprise growers with its explosive flavor and consistent superhot punch. Perfect for sauces, powders, or anyone looking to raise the bar on what “hot” really means.
