What You’re Growing

Chocolate Ghost peppers are a striking and flavour-packed variation of the classic Ghost pepper. The plants grow into sturdy, bushy producers loaded with heavily wrinkled pods that mature into a deep, chocolate-brown colour.

Compared to red or yellow Ghost varieties, Chocolate Ghost peppers lean more earthy and smoky, making them ideal for deeper, savoury heat profiles. The heat is classic Ghost — intense, lingering, and unforgiving.

This is a superhot with serious depth.

Heat + Best Uses

This is serious superhot heat.
Chocolate Ghost peppers deliver a slow-building burn that becomes powerful and long-lasting.

Best uses include:

smoky, ultra-hot sauces
fermented mashes with deep flavour
powdering for extreme heat seasoning
small amounts in chilli, stews, or BBQ sauces
drying for flakes or powder

A very small amount goes a long way.

How to Grow Chocolate Ghost in Ontario/Canada

Superhot peppers require patience and a strong indoor start in Canadian climates.

1) Start seeds indoors
Start seeds 10–12 weeks before last frost (March–early April in much of Ontario).
Use a heat mat for better germination results.
Provide strong light immediately after sprouting.

2) Transplant timing
Transplant outdoors only once all frost risk is gone and nighttime temperatures remain warm.
Harden off gradually over 7–10 days.

3) Sun + soil
Full sun is essential for maximum heat and pod development.
Use rich, well-draining soil and water deeply but consistently.

4) Give it space
Plants grow bushy and heavy with fruit.
Large containers or in-ground planting both work well.
Staking or cages are recommended once pods begin to set.

Harvest Tips

Harvest when peppers turn fully dark chocolate brown — this is when heat and flavour peak.

Green pods are edible but significantly milder and less flavourful.

Always wear gloves when harvesting and handling — Chocolate Ghost oils are extremely potent.
