Tasty chocolate, but not too spicy.
I did this challenge as I love spicy foods and have been recently doing all spicy challenges I can find.I did the Choco challenge and was surprised at how good the chocolate itself actually tasted! It definitely kicked up the heat level, but if you are someone who eats Carolina reapers and ghost peppers on the daily, the heat won’t hurt you too much. I didn’t need to take a drink or anything afterwards, but if you don’t like heat...this will pack a punch!I enjoyed this challenge and recommended it to many of my friends. I actually did it live on Facebook and a bunch of people tuned in and shared it.I love that the company donated to fight world hunger! It’s nice to see a company helping people for a change.Highly recommend just to have some fun with and help a good cause.

Not for the faint of heart!
Friends of mine were doing a different hot confection challenge on Zoom for Valentines’ Day, but I couldn’t eat that particular confection because it has gelatin in it.So, I did this challenge instead.This tiny bar packs a wallop! It has a great flavor, though, in spite of being incredibly spicy and full of searing heat.I use hot sauce fairly often, ranging from Valentina all the way up to ghost pepper sauce, so I had no trouble eating this — and then even waiting five minutes (following the rules of the other challenge) to drink a cooling beverage. I chose cold coffee with heavy cream in it. It worked great to ease the burn.This bar is expensive, but part of the money goes to Feeding America. That meant a lot to me!I would actually eat this chocolate again without a challenge. There is something to the fact that capsaicin makes you feel pretty darn good. I’ll have to make a point of increasing my hot pepper intake for that reason.Fingers crossed, that I’ll be in the running for a year of free hot sauce. :)

Amazing, little white chocolate bar.
For starters the packaging is absolutely amazing. It's a complete balance of pretty AND cool. Secondly this was just the heat we needed.I bought this as a fun gift for my boyfriend and myself to eat and try seeing how he knows I'm a bit of a pepper enthusiast and he usually collects a lot of hot sauces. Usually we've tried things that promise to be spicy but just aren't what the labels guarantee.This chocolate bar is small but really packs a punch for its size. The spiciness is amazing it made my eyes water and my nose run and it was pretty hilarious. I think we definitely had a good time laughing and enjoying it. Would definitely buy it again. Flavor is good, he doesn't like regular chocolate so white chocolate was a good choice. It really balances out/compliments the spices. Lot of good, balanced heat. 10/10.

HOT! But not the hottest challenge out there.
I bought this for my husband who did the challenge with a friend of his. They were both worried about how hot it would be as they do these hot challenges frequently. They each ate the white chocolate portion in one bite and while they both were flush and a little sweaty they completed the challenge with little effort. They both agreed that the sweetness of the chocolate was very good and helped to balance out the heat. Per my husband, if you are curious about these hot challenges, this is a good one to start with. You get the idea of how hot these challenges can be but you aren't taken down by the heat. If you can handle this one, move on to others. If this is too hot for you, do not try any others! Great promotion as well as the box states that 50 meals are donated per every bar sold, 100 meals were donated by my husband and his friend being idiots.

Very very hot but I have had worse
I love hot sauces and started looking into spicy challenges. I came across white lightening and the one chip challenge as two of the most popular so I bought both. This one was relatively expensive ($25) for a square of chocolate but 50 meals are donated so it is for a good cause especially with the pandemic. The square is the size of a Ghirardelli square and looks like white chocolate with very tiny specs of red all throughout. The bar is yummy and tastes like white chocolate but then hits you with a very hard pepper punch. You don't taste the peppers in the chocolate but you feel them pretty quickly. The product is very hot and a good challenge to start with if you can take the hottest sauces from hot ones. If you enjoyed this one I would then look at the one chip challenge from Paqui which is much hotter (top 3) which is saying something since this is a top 10 hottest thing I have eaten.

Adorable packaging and good challenge
It’s costly for the amount of chocolate 🍫 involved but hey it was for a good cause and I’m following all the youtube food challenges to post my own. The taste was ok, the chocolate didn’t have any score lines so had to break it up . The heat is not instantaneous but then bam!!!! It knocks you off your feet for about 10 min then you can start feeling your lips again. Didn’t make me hiccup so it was not in the insanity heat range.

Good heat for a good cause
The heat is real on this, not as intense as the reaper/bhutlah themselves but the heat is real. The pepper taste has underlying chocolate tones. I like the fact that that I feed my inner pepper head and it also provides up to 50 meals to those in need. It tasted creamy to me, and the pepper taste is very, very prevalent. Burns you in the mouth and down the hatch into your belly. If you don't eat a lot of hot pepper goods, load your stomach up with dairy/bread/anti-acid prior to this and it won't hit your stomach as bad.More of these challenge products should have the extra bonus like providing meals to those in need or other services. Super hot challenges are mainstream, could be used heavily to help those and pepper heads alike.

Not hot
Lots of hype. I was expecting this to be crazy hot, but it’s nothing. We did a hot ones challenge and I saved this for the last level and it was a huge disappointment. All contestants agreed this was the easiest of all the hot stuff we ate. Barely spicy. Not worth $25 bucks. It was a nice break from the hot stuff we ate. Would buy for $2 for a mild spicy candy bar.
