Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Tip:
For extra indulgence, top these cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache (page 74) and a sliver of Mexican chocolate, or simply dust with cinnamon and powdered sugar.

A smoky, spicy red wine such as a Tempranillo would pair perfectly with the chipotle heat and chocolate richness.
