1/4 teaspoon ancho chile powder

1/8 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

1/4 cup chocolate chunks

1/4 teaspoon spice mixture

1/2 cup milk

1 tablespoon instant espresso powder

2 tablespoons hot water

1. In a small bowl, mix together ancho chile powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and granulated sugar. Set aside.


2. Into a mason jar with a lid, add chocolate chunks and 1/4 teaspoon of the spice mixture. Microwave uncovered for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the chocolate has melted slightly.
