Walkers launched its Do Us A Flavour campaign last July, challenging members of the public to think up a unique flavour of crisp.
Fish and chips, crispy duck and hoi sin, and builder's breakfast have also made the finals of the public search.
Chef Heston Blumenthal and a judging panel picked the top six entries from more than one million, and Walkers turned the ideas into reality.
The crisps can be bought from all supermarkets from today until May, either individually or in a special multipack containing all six flavours.
Blumenthal said: "The complexities of flavour fascinate me and to watch the British public get so excited about taste has been absolutely inspiring.
"We've had an incredible response and sifting through the entries has been quite incredible. I can't wait to see which on the public choose as their winner!"
Votes cast on the Walkers website between now and May 1 will decide which flavour stays permanently on sale, and the creator will win £50,000, on top of the £10,000 that each finalist has already received.
One per cent of profits from all future sales will also be handed to the winner. The crisp manufacturer revealed that, if sales should reach that of its BBQ flavour for example, the winner would receive around £57,000 a year.
Chilli and chocolate is the brainchild of Catherine Veitch, from High Wycombe, who entered the competition with her friend Sian Smith from Oxfordshire.
The pair, who work in educational publishing, took more than 500 pictures as part of their entry
Ms Veitch said: "Chilli and chocolate might sound like a crazy...

He said: "This gentle Cajun flavouring will be delicious for the public and although the idea might sound bizarre, it really works. No squirrels were harmed in the making of these crisps!"

Do these people realize how torturous it is to spend wee morning hours in cold, damp, tick infested Louisiana woods, quietly waiting, sometimes for hours just to get one of these sneaky little critters?!?!
Then once you have enough of them, you have to skin them, gut them and cut them up!
Then you have to "brown" them in a little oil in a hot cast iron pot. Now you have to have some chopped onions, celery, bell peppers. After the squirrel is browned golden, you have to take it out and put the veggies in the pot and saute them until they are fully wilted. After that you have add some red wine and deglaze the bottom of the pot. Then return the squirrel and add some minced garlic and season with salt and cayenne pepper and cover and simmer slowly for an hour or so.
Meanwhile, as you sip on your Jack Daniel's Makers Mark, steam up a pot of white rice. Until its fluffy but not 'til it sticks together.
When the meat is thoroughly cooked and fall off the bone tender and there is a nice dent in the bottle of Jack, plate individual servings of the meat and gravy over the steamed rice. Very nice.
Or you can just go to London and by a bag of these chips...but do they have the Jack?
Oooh, you’re making me hungry! There’s nothing better than young, tender squirrel, especially in a gumbo. I think I’ll make the boys go out and shoot a few tomorrow. (We live in Southwest Missouri and they’re everywhere up here...)
How about Maple smoked ‘possum?
Squirrel is good. Makes good stew.
hey, better them than us.
