Description

Dark chocolate is spiced with cinnamon and cayenne and sprinkled with sea salt and pepitas. This would make a very special holiday gift, and no one needs to know how easy it was!

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces, weight Dark Chocolate
  • 3 ounces, weight Semi-sweet Chocolate
  • ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Cayenne
  • ¼ teaspoons Sea Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Pepitas

Preparation

Prepare a 9×13 baking pan or a cookie sheet by lining with parchment paper. You may need to tape the parchment to keep it in place.

Coarsely chop the chocolate. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, stirring frequently until completely smooth. Stir in the cinnamon and cayenne until completely incorporated.

Spread chocolate out on parchment paper, using a spatula, to a thickness of about 1/2 centimeter. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepitas.

Allow to harden for 1–2 hours (cooling in the fridge is the best option). Cut into pieces and store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
