A sample of the extreme version of her Chili-Head Chocolate Pyramids was a sensory awakening, a journey unlike the usual chocolate experience” “The chocolate is dark, rich and mysterious, melting to a creamy mix in the mouth that suddenly is set afire and soothed all at once by the marriage of the chocolate truffle center, the dark chocolate coating and the chilies. In the end, the heat is eased by the sweet chocolate, leaving the lips and tongue tingling."
