Dark chocolate is an antioxidant-rich treat that rounds off a day of hard work and good eating. Here, we’ve made things a bit spicier with a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you prefer your chocolate without spice, feel free to leave it out.

Preparation

Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Melt chocolate over simmering water in a double boiler; alternatively, place it in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave and heat in 30-second bursts until melted. Stir cayenne, orange zest, and about three-quarters of nuts into chocolate. Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread chocolate mixture on the prepared sheet. Sprinkle with remaining nuts and flaky salt. Refrigerate until firm, 15–20 minutes.
Step 3
Break into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
