Chocolate Pots

If you're a proud chocoholic like me, when those chocolatey cravings hit you need something chocolatey (of course), luxurious, and rich and this recipe fits the bill. Chocolate pots are super easy to make and you can flavor them with orange zest, espresso powder, chili powder (chocolate and chili is an amazing combo), and the list goes on. And these chocolate pots have a nice smooth texture which makes them even more delectable. Enough said, onto the recipe!
