Chocolate & chilli? Try it, they go wonderfully together...

leave the wine out if you like.

Can fool even the biggest meat eater if you don't tell them it's veggie!

Bit of a bump for an old recipe but I tried this one out today and it was pretty damned good. I used shaved couverture rather than cocoa powder (because that is what I had) and it was very, very, good. Two thumbs up!
