Ingredients

12 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), broken into pieces
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions

Prepare the Chocolate Base

Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, or use a chocolate bar mold if you prefer a classic bar shape.
In a double boiler or microwave, melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil, stirring until smooth and glossy.

Infuse with Chili and Flavor

Once melted, add the chili powder and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture, stirring thoroughly to evenly distribute the chili’s warmth.

Set and Garnish

Pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet or into molds, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the flaky sea salt generously over the chocolate for a balance of flavors.
Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the fridge for 30 minutes, or until firm.
