    This chili was disgusting. Way too thick and too much spice.
    Had to throw it away. Why are people giving it 5 stars when they haven't even made it yet?

    I had an Aussie friend share her Chocolate Chili recipe with me and I admit my skepticism, but yours sounds so good. I'm gonna have to give it a go. Thanks for posting, Kimmer.
