Pepitapapas

Found recipe in rachel ray's magazine. Very easy to make and very good. the cayenne pepper really brings out the flavor of the chocolate. i buy bittersweet chocolate and pumpkin seeds (pepitas) at trader joe's at very reasonable prices. Number of serving is approximate--depends on how big of pieces you break it into.
