Mexican Chocolate Fudge Pops

While traditional fudge pops are extremely tasty, I find them a bit lacking given their single flavor profile. By adding a bit of cinnamon and cayenne pepper, these fudgy pops pack a whole lot of punch and offer a more complex, layered flavor experience, at once creamy and chocolaty, while still delivering a spicy heat. However, if you are serving these pops to young children, you might choose to skip the cayenne.
