Apocalypse Chocolate is a Capsicum chinense variety developed in Italy and is a chocolate-coloured phenotype of the Apocalypse pepper line. Plants are compact, typically reaching around one metre in height, and are known for strong productivity throughout the growing season.

The pods have a rough, heavily textured surface and mature to a dark brown colour. Heat levels are extremely high, commonly reported at around 1,400,000 Scoville Heat Units. The flavour profile includes mild sweetness with smoky undertones, accompanied by a strong aroma typical of super-hot Capsicum chinense varieties.
