  4. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Add 1/4 - 1 teaspoon of finely chopped fresh chillies (or to taste), starting with a smaller amount and adding more gradually until you reach your desired level of spiciness. Use caution with chillies and adjust to your preference.
