  • Place chopped chocolate into a bowl; add chipotle pepper and salt.
  • Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it comes to a boil. Pour cream over chocolate and let stand for 3 minutes.

Pick up one edge of the plastic and roll chocolate into a rough log shape. Continue to roll, wrapping chocolate in the plastic. Refrigerate until chilled and firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Place cocoa powder in a small bowl.
  • Unwrap chocolate and cut in half crosswise; cut each half into halves lengthwise. Roughly cut candy into 1/2-inch squares.
  • Place chocolate squares into cocoa powder and toss gently to coat.
