Ingredients

  • 9 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 6 tablespoons cream
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

    • Directions

    1. Melt chocolate, butter and cayenne in a double boiler, or a bowl in the microwave. Stir well.
    2. Remove from heat. Mix in cream and 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar. Stir well. (The sugar will stick together in small lumps if you aren’t vigorous about it.).
    3. Cover, and chill overnight.
    4. Create a mixture of 1/3 cup powdered sugar, the cocoa powder, ginger, and cinnamon.
    5. Scoop out the chocolate, one tablespoon at a time. Mold it into balls. (this is messy; get used to it.) Roll the balls in the powder mixture to coat them.
    6. Put them back in the fridge, until serving time.
