I’ve seen quite a few comments about pudding cups in lunch bags, seems to be a common share memory.

Yours is a far cry from those, though… mmm, so yummy sounding and elegant. I like the idea of cinnamon and pepper together. Very creative!

The spiced chocolate layer sounds divine!

The spicy ganache sounds delicious with the vanilla layer. The candleholders are such a great idea! Nice size and shape, plus a clear glass is great for this recipe.

I have tried cinnamon in chocolate but never ancho chile or cayenne. Sounds wonderful!

Looks like it came out perfectly. Like the tweaks to the chocolate. Bet it was good with the simple vanilla flavor.

Votive candle holders!!! What a great idea! That is innovation in plating!!! Gorgeous job! And I love the spices in the ganache!

I probably used about 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and I think I ended up with 3 pinches of ancho and 3 pinches of cayenne.

i think my glasses are actually candle holders, too…whatever! i totally agree that all that food processor stuff is nonsense…and makes a ton of mess pouring stuff in and out! i like the sound of that spicy ganache!

I cheated and just whisked – sshhh! I never do the food processor step, just because I have a dinky little mini-prep, and it always turns out okay. I really like the chile addition though – good idea to amp up the amount you put in to make up for the vanilla pudding portion. How much did you end up using?

True simple is often best. Plus spices and chocolate are the perfect match… but you’re also right in wanting to eventually try the combo I used: chocolate, lemon and coffee.

I have no merit really, since it is went buying a box of fine chocolate last Xmas and stumbling on a lemon and coffee dark chocolate, that the idea came to me. My bubie and I found the mix of flavours to be so amazing, I started to use is in all sorts of stuff… cakes, pastries, puddings, etc.

Definately a must try!
