The weather is getting too hot to ship chocolate. So our tingly toffee brittle is taking a summer break and will be back in September. Please sign up "NOTIFY ME" below. Thank you!
50Hertz x NeoCocoa collaboration: Green Sichuan Pepper Toffee Nib Brittle
Our Green Sichuan Pepper Toffee Nib Chocolate Brittle is handcrafted in small batches by our brilliant partners at NeoCocoa. Imagine the zesty lime and citrusy tingle of our green Sichuan pepper mingling with NeoCocoa's dark, buttery toffee. Thinly layered between dark milk chocolate, your mouth will delight in this buzzy and crispy brittle of adventure.
Infusing the captivating aroma and tingling sensation of Sichuan pepper into a variety of food and drink, and thereby showing its versatility and delightfulness, is our mission. Creating a craveable and delicious Sichuan pepper confectionery product has been our dream. We met Christine Doerr, founder of NeoCocoa, in early 2023. We worked with her on the recipe through several iterations from February to July, and launched the test batch in October when the weather cooled down. It was an instant hit! Based on the enthusiastic response and feedback, we have brought back Green Sichuan Pepper Toffee Nib Chocolate Brittle—with updated packaging and in two different sizes (3oz and 8oz)!
1. Sichuan pepper has zero heat and is not spicy at all! People confuse it because it is often paired with chili peppers and chili is the one that brings the heat
2. Sichuan pepper is not a pepper, it belongs to the citrus family
3. Sichuan “peppercorn” is a common misnomer because these dried Sichuan peppers are not peppercorn. They’re the dried husk of the Sichuan pepper berry. A sign of superior quality is the lack of black seeds.
4. Sichuan pepper is not just from Sichuan, but from a collection of places in southwestern China: Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, etc.
5. We believe that the correct name for it is actually Flower Pepper which is a direct translation from the Chinese term hua jiao.
I really enjoyed the peanuts and the brittle, it was great to share it with my friends and family. I'll definitely have to order some more in the future!
I thought I would love it because of the ingredients but it was only okay. Gave me a weird taste in my mouth. The item came nicely but when I opened it looked like it was melted and then harden.
Dear Sandra,
I'm so sorry that the brittle wasn't to your liking! And more than that, I'm very sorry that it had melted in transit. As a small business, we take every review very seriously and try to improve. I'm going to go ahead and refund the order to you. We would also love to make it up to you! Would you like to try some of our peanuts? I can send you a can! Please feel free to email me at lois@50hertzfoods.com.
Stay tingly!
Lois
An absolutely delightful treat. The toffee is perfect (layers of rich flavor) topped with smooth chocolate. The peppers add a surprising but delicious tingle and citrus notes that stay with you and you savor the lingering caramel flavor.

I really enjoyed the Sichuan peanuts - the peanuts tasted great, and the Sichuan complimented them well. It was the perfect size for snacking.
I love these little packs of tingly nuts - they are the perfect size to hand out to friends, coworkers, family members, etc. I want to know if people will like these before I hand over one of my precious full-sized cans!
This was my 3rd online order, plus I have made 3 purchases from Corti Brothers here in Sacramento. SO nice! I do have to say that the very first peanuts I purchased were much hotter than they are now. Or, at least to me…but I plan to keep on getting Tingly😁🦋
