About The Tenth Circle Challenge Collection

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

This chile pepper challenge is NOT for the faint of heart. If you love chocolate and live your life in search of serious heat, this is the collection for you. 

Follow Virgil through the nine circles of hell down to a whole new level of anguish before reaching chile pepper Paradiso. This bomb of a hot pepper challenge takes four fresh super hot chile peppers-- Habanero, Ghost, Scorpion, and Carolina Reaper-- and disguises them as a treat with a robe of dark chocolate. Do not be fooled; these are monsters in delicacy clothing. 

Will the fire ever end? If you eventually emerge from the flames, what kind of person will you be on the other side? Are you bold (or crazy) enough to find out?

Complete the Challenge

  • Record yourself. We need proof of life on the other side of this.
  • Eat all four peppers in under five minutes.
  • Sit in the burn of Pepper Purgatory for 10 minutes. No food or drink, unless you’re tapping out.
  • Post your video on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube and tag us (@mcacaochocolates + #mcacaochallenge).
  • Bask in your unrivaled glory. You deserve it.

FAILURES: We want to see how far you made it. This is still your party, even if you can’t hang. Post your videos on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube and tag us so we can revel in your misery with you.

Shipping Methods and Schedule

We offer a variety of shipping options to accommodate your needs:

Our shipping schedule operates from Monday to Wednesday to prevent your chocolates from being in transit over the weekend, thereby preserving their quality. Orders placed after 1:00 PM EST will be processed on the next business day.

During warmer months or when shipping to warmer climates, we take extra precautions to prevent melting. We strongly recommend Warm Weather Express service when temperatures at your destination reach higher than 72°F (22°C).

Shipping Rates

Shipping costs are calculated based on the destination, shipping method, and order total. In the 48 contiguous United States, Ground shipping is $9 and 2nd Day Air is $19. We also offer complimentary Ground shipping on orders over $150, available exclusively for deliveries within the 48 contiguous United States.

Please note that additional charges may apply for expedited shipping, Warm Weather Express service, or deliveries to remote locations.

International Shipping

We offer shipping within the United States and to many international destinations. For international orders, shipping rates and delivery times may vary based on the destination country. Please be aware that customs duties and taxes are the responsibility of the recipient.

Order Tracking

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking information. This allows you to monitor your package's journey and anticipate its arrival.

Customer Support

Our dedicated customer service team is available to assist you with any questions or concerns regarding your order. Please contact us at or (877) 334-5777 during business hours, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST, and Saturday 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM EST.

How to Care for Your Chocolates

At M. Cacao, we craft our chocolates with care to ensure the best flavor and texture. Follow these simple guidelines: Storage: Keep chocolates in a cool, dry place between 60°F–70°F (16°C–21°C). Avoid sunlight, heat, or humidity. Shelf Life: Ganaches and pralines are best within 2–3 weeks. Caramels and ArtBars are best within 4–6 weeks.

Longer-Term Storage

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Let chocolates return to room temperature for 2 hours before enjoying. Freezer: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then let sit at room temperature for 2 hours before enjoying. Savoring: Bring chocolates to room temperature before eating for the fullest flavor. Bloomed Chocolates: A whitish film (bloom) may appear due to temperature changes. It’s safe to eat and does not affect flavor.

At M. Cacao, we view chocolate as food, not just a treat, so we craft our products with fresh, real ingredients rather than oils or artificial flavorings. Our chocolates combine traditional French techniques with bold, modern flavors and offer the option of boxing your chocolates in our ultra-personalized Expressio Chocolate Video Box.

The Expressio Chocolate Video Box is a unique gift box that includes a video screen and speakers. That means that your personalized video message or photo slide show is uploaded into the box and plays when it is opened. It’s an innovative way to make special occasions memorable.

Yes, we offer a variety of chocolate and pastry classes where participants learn from our expert chocolatiers. Our classes are hands-on, educational experiences that cover various techniques and skill levels. If you are interested in seeing the kitchens where all our chocolates are made, contact us for scheduling.

Truffles Collection, and several of our ArtBars, including Three Graces (with oranges, lemons, and limes), Spice of Life (with pistachios and salt & pepper almonds), and Cool Fantasy (with raspberries and mint leaves). These chocolates are crafted without animal products. However, please note that all products are made in a facility that processes dairy, so cross-contamination is possible.

Most of our chocolates are made without gluten-containing ingredients, including our Fromage Chocolate Collection, Seriously?!

However, because our facility also processes gluten, cross-contamination is possible for those with celiac disease or an allergy.

We offer a Warm Weather Express service during warmer months, which includes expedited shipping and eco-friendly temperature-controlled packaging. This packaging uses water-soluble insulation and non-toxic, drain-safe gel ice packs to ensure chocolates arrive in perfect condition with minimal waste. We also have a No-Melt Guarantee that comes with our Warm Weather Express Service – if your chocolates were shipped with our Warm Weather Express Service and arrive melted, contact us and we will arrange a replacement.
