Chocolate Chili Bites

Directions

1. 1
   Pre-heat your oven to 400°F.
2. 2
   Melt the butter with the chocolate in a small saucepan or in a bowl in the microwave. If melting in the microwave, be sure to do it slowly, blending with a spoon between each pass.
3. 3
   Transfer the melted chocolate and butter into a mixing bowl and add the sugar, stirring it in with a wooden spoon.
4. 4
   Let the mixture cool a little.
5. 5
   Add the eggs one by one, mixing well with the spoon after each addition.
6. 6
   Add a rounded tablespoon of flour and mix well.
7. 7
   Stir in the chili powder.
8. 8
   Pour the dough into non-stick or silicone petit four molds, and bake for ten to twelve minutes. The top should look set, but the inside should still be on the soft side.
9. 9
   Let the the mini bites cool down enough to unmold them, then turn them out on a rack to cool completely while you cook the other batches. Store in a plastic container, refrigerate, and take out about an hour prior to serving the next day.
