Chipotle Chili Powder

You can make this recipe with any combinations of ground dried peppers. I really like the smoky flavor and richness the Chipotle and Ancho peppers used in this blend. If you need a hotter blend you can increase the heat level by adding ground Cayenne peppers. For those who want it even hotter (and are a bit insane) try adding ground Ghost peppers. You can get whole dried Ghost peppers in most specialty markets and then grind them yourself. The Ghost pepper (Bhut Jolokia) is one of the hottest peppers in the world.
