Today I have a recipe to add a little spice to your Valentine's Day! These "hot" chocolate cupcakes pack a little heat with a mixture of chili powder, cinnamon and cayenne! I know it sounds strange... but these cupcakes taste deliciously exotic.
I paired these spicy chocolate cupcakes with the most delicious and cream chocolate fudge icing... ever... seriously! This icing is truly decadent and intensely chocolatey. So, so yummy... Even if you don't care for spicy-chocolate, you must, at least, try this fudge icing!
Check out the video below:

-1 3/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
-3/4 Cup Cocoa Powder (I used Hershey's Special Dark)

-1 Tbsp Cinnamon
-2 Tbsp Chili Powder
-1/4 to 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper (more or less depending on how spicy you like it!)
-1 tsp Salt
-1 Cup Half & Half (room temp)
-3/4 Cup Strong Coffee
-1 tsp Vanilla Extract
-1 1/2 Sticks Unsalted Butter (softened)
