Hottest candy you can buy: 9-million-Scoville lollipop, gummy bear and chocolate

The hottest candies on sale use a chili extract rated at 9 million Scoville units: Flamethrower Candy's Toe of Satan lollipop and Lil' Nitro gummy bear, and Vat19's World's Hottest Chocolate Bar. Vat19 says that is 900 times hotter than a jalapeño.

Each comes as a single piece, sold as a dare: the Toe of Satan is a 0.7 oz sucker shaped like a demon's toe, and the chocolate bar weighs just 5 grams. Vat19 rates the lollipop for ages 14 and up.

How the hot candy challenge works

The usual format on video, with one piece per person:

  1. Unwrap one candy on camera.
  2. Lick the Toe of Satan, or chew Lil' Nitro all the way and swallow it.
  3. Hold out for at least a minute before reaching for milk.
  4. Rate the burn as it builds; extract heat often peaks after a few minutes.

Do it safely

  • Vat19: "Consume at your own risk and handle with extreme caution!"
  • Keep it away from young children and pets, as the maker says.
  • Wash your hands before touching your eyes.
