Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is well blended and hot. Puree Habaneros in a food processor or blender, and add to the Chocolate mixture. Do not let the mixture come to a boil. With a molinillo (Mexican wooden beater) or a rotary beater, beat the chocolate vigorously until it is foamy. Pour it into individual cups and serve at once while driving to the nearest hospital. *** Double caution do not get this near your eyes, mucous membranes or any other vital part of your body. If you should spill it in your lap while driving to the hospital, pull into the nearest McDonalds, scream bloody murder, and sue for three million dollars. Burt: This was created for me a few years ago by Kathy Pitts who knows I like my chilies on the mild side.
