7 ounces best-quality semisweet chocolate

1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsulphured molasses
