Notes
If you are already using a rather sweet chocolate, no need for sugar. However, if you are looking for the ultimate indulgent treat, go for that additional sugar!
Cayenne isn't necessary, but is absolutely delicious provided you are not sensitive to spice. Feel free to use it or omit it - it will be delicious either way!
