Ingredients

  • ½ pound high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, or as needed

Directions

Step 1
Place chopped chocolate into a bowl; add chipotle pepper and salt.

Step 2
Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it comes to a boil. Pour cream over chocolate and let stand for 3 minutes.

Step 3
Stir gently until chocolate mixture is completely smooth. Pour chocolate mixture out onto a sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface. Pick up one edge of the plastic and roll chocolate into a rough log shape. Continue to roll, wrapping chocolate in the plastic. Refrigerate until chilled and firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 4
Place cocoa powder in a small bowl.

Step 5
Unwrap chocolate and cut in half crosswise; cut each half into halves lengthwise. Roughly cut candy into 1/2-inch squares.

Step 6
Place chocolate squares into cocoa powder and toss gently to coat.
