• 1/2 lb./200 g. butter
• 1/2 lb./200 g. dark chocolate (good quality)
• 3/4 lb./250 g. sugar
• 5 eggs
• 1 Tbs. flour
• 1-1/2 tsp. ground chili

Preheat oven to 400 F. Melt the butter with the chocolate in a double boiler 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. Transfer into a mixing bowl, add in the sugar, mix with a wooden spoon and let cool a little. Add the eggs one by one, mixing well with the spoon after each addition. Add a rounded Tbs. of flour and the chili powder and mix well. Pour the dough in the petit four molds, and put into the oven to bake for ten to twelve minutes. The top should look set, but the inside should still be on the soft side. Let the mini bites cool down enough to un-mold 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.
