im a bit of a wimp with hot food so i was a bit dubious about trying this and the bar i bought sat untouched in the fridge for quite a while before i braved it lol. first 2 squares i could not taste anything but chocolate so i had another square...............big mistake !! suddenly throat was on fire and needed large glass of wine to sooth it this is not a bar for me but my hubby loved it and said im just a wuss
