In a heavy small saucepan combine ¾ cup semisweet chocolate pieces, ¼ cup butter, ½ tsp ground pasilla or chili pepper (optional) and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon; cook and stir over medium heat until chocolate is melted. Add 2/3 cup granulated sugar; gradually add one 5-ounce can evaporated milk (2/3 cup), stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Boil gently over low heat for 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove heat. Cool slightly.
