Allow me to elaborate. I wouldn't describe it as "chili flavoured". You can't really taste the chili, but you do feel the heat. What you taste is a richer more intense chocolate. For some reason, having chili in chocolate makes the chocolate hit your senses stronger.

Alton Brown of the TV show "Good Eats" spoke of this in one episode. He said it was discovered by the ancient Aztecs. Brown's hot cocoa recipe even calls for a small pinch of cayenne pepper. I intend to make that someday to try it.
