XXtra Spicy Chocolate Covered Slim Jim's

I don't normally give into my guilty pleasures, but after recently discovering spicy Slim Jim's, I just couldn't resist. Slim Jim's are very memorable from my childhood and the only thing better then snapping into a regular slim jim, is snapping into one that's been drenched in Ancho Chili Chocolate.

Ancho's are one of the best chili's to pair with chocolate. They have a mildly sweet bite that complements the chocolate well. I didn't want to cover up the tabasco & habanero flavors already incorporated into the chili's and the ancho's added the perfect touch.

After multiple taste test's, I think the Habanero Slim Jim's were superior to the Tabasco flavored ones. The Habanero's are 10X spicier in general and for me, the spicier the better. None the less, the tabasco one's rocked.

Let me know what you think....

I really love XXHot spicy chocolate, but how do this taste, and hold up when you eat them? My Slim Jim experience has been very "Wet" or "juicy" in the past. Does the chocolate crumble off the outside?

[lmnopeas]

They taste amazing and are strangely addictive! The chocolate is firm, similar to eating a regular candy bar and doesn't crumble.

what a weird and amazing idea, I'm trying this!

I can't handle that spicy, but they look great!
