You absolutely have to try this chilli chocolate fudge, it's become my favorite homemade treat to make when I want something decadent but surprisingly simple. The combination of dark chocolate with a kick of chilli peppers creates this amazing balance of sweet and spicy that keeps you coming back for more. What I love most is that it comes together in just over an hour, and the ingredients are probably already in your kitchen. Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants too, so you can feel a little better about indulging. Trust me, once you've made this, store bought fudge won't compare.
