Category:  Snack, about 20 minutes

o   ¼ cup maple syrup

o   ½ cup cocoa powder

o   1/8 tsp black pepper

o   1/8 tsp chili powder

o   ¼ tsp ginger

o   ½ tsp turmeric

o   1 tsp cinnamon

Notes:

I usually use a large glass measuring cup to melt the cocoa butter (set it in a sauce pan) and then use the measuring cup to mix the other ingredients in – this makes it easy to pour out the final product and reduces dishes.  Molds are fun, but often I’ll just use a silicon loaf pan.  This chocolate is nice and smooth, with a mildly spicy flavor.  You can just use vanilla and salt if you prefer, but it won’t be inflammatory (or as tasty).
