It’s as hot as the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion which makes sense since the chocolate scorpion is a sub-variety. Though it does tend to play closer to the upper ends of the 1,200,000 SHU to 2,000,000 SHU range of the Scoville scale. That makes the Trinidad Scorpion Chocolate one of the hottest peppers in the world, up there with the likes of the Carolina Reaper.
