Loved the heat of this chili, but overall didn't think it was worthy of 5 stars. Definitely NOT the best chili I've ever tasted. Needed way more tomato taste, along with more beer and definitely some vinegar. I have used cocoa in several Mexican dishes (not hot chocolate mix) so that was not an unusual or unexpected addition for me. 3 stars: wasn't the best, yet I've have had far worse...this recipe was "okay".

INCREDIBLE!!! Quite easy....will make this one over and over again. Everyone thought it was a bakery-made pie. :)
