Unique chili, I had this when I was in Ohio and I just fell in love with it. You must try!!! I know that some of the ingredients are a little strange for chili but try it and I think you will like it.

This is really an interesting recipe. I'll have to try this as I've never had a chili with chocolate in it. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!


Great recipe. I have made this chili and found it to be quite different in taste. But every now and then I like to switch from the hot stuff. Thanks
