Recently I've noticed a lot of Swiss and Italian chocolate makers producing
 chocolate bars with chiles in them, particularly in Italy. In the past week
 I've bought Lindt, Perugina, and Stainer chocolate with chiles, with 
Stainer
 producing the most variations, one with habs, one with smoked chiles, one
 with scotch-bonnets and rum, and another that I didn't buy that said 
'mild'.

 Are such items becoming the rage in the US as well, or is it a european
 thing?

 P.S.  I got these all in normal cafes and such, not specialy stores.

P.P.S.  I just got back from the store, and Lindt has just come out with a 
dark-chocolate, sour-cherries and chile version, three of my favorite 
things!
