smoking Smoking Some Chocolate TScorpions

Starting to smoke some pods for the upcoming flake/powder/sauce season.  1st smoke of the season was approximately 3 pounds of Chocolate TScorpions (courtesy of Dale Baker).  Smoked them for about 6 hours with an approximate 60/40 combination cherry and apple.  Had a minor heat excursion and cooked a few of the pods  Next week - who knows!  A few pictures:

Now, what to do with them?  Decisions, decisions . . . these are the decisions that I like to make.
 
Thanks for looking.
 
 Looks super tasty Terry. Nothing compares to the smell of chocolates all smoked up. Keep us posted on your decision.

Terry if you can get your hands on some, Chestnut is great for smoking Chocolates. I did Chestnut smoke Choc Habs last year and it was great. I can send you a SFRB of chips if you can't find some.
Thanks Brian -  I've never tried Chestnut.  I'll look around for some and if I can't find any, I will definitely take you up on your offer.  Thanks again.
