I make chocolates & want to make some with chilli but not sure what kind of chilli to use or how much. Do I use chilli powder of flakes?

Use chilli powder as you need it to be smooth. Be carefull much you add though as you don't it too hot that no one can eat it.

Maybe it would be easier to buy the Lindt chilli chocolate and melt it down to use however you want to. That way you won't overdo the chilli.

Try 1/4 tsp powedered chilli with a standard size block for starters. Personally me and my friends like it better hotter (1/2 tsp at least). Note it does not affect the flavour, just adds heat. Also some people just don't like it at all.

Depends what you want - a nice hot flavour just after the sweet chocolate taste - or a crunchy chilly bite every now and then ...

Not sure really, making them as a Christmas present for someone who loves chilli chocolate. I imagine either would be acceptable!

If you have never done anything like it - AND it is supposed to be a gift - then I would highly recommend that you follow the advice in post#3

I have made many chocolates over the years but never with chilli - may have to just use the "trial & error" method ;-)
