I started adding chocolate a few years ago with my chili recipe - my family and friends love it - they were surprised when I told them I add 1/2 of pure cocoa to the recipe.

My chocolate chili includes ground turkey and abuelita, a whole block of the hot cinnamon chocolate, also, you may want to try adding cinnamon,

Fantastic recipe! Haven't made this for a year now. The winter hits and my kids are begging for me to make it again. Given that they remember it a year later, I would have to give it 5 stars!

This is a great recipe. It is the first chili I ever cooked. I added some different items to it but customizing a recipe is what makes it yours when you cook it. I will be cooking some chili this winter. Thanks for sharing your moms recipe.

I hate to give any recipe such an awful rating but this chili was just not for me. It was much too sweet and really lacked any flavor. In the end I put about 5 total TSB of Chili powder and 1 1/2 TBS of Cumin. Sorry for the bad review.

This was tasty. The only change I made was to use ground turkey breast. I wasn't able to eat this until a couple of days after I made it.. I always wait a day for chili anyway. The flavors had mellowed a lot so next time I would up the seasonings even more than I already did. And I wouldn't use kidney beans, but rather another bean.. that is my issue though not the recipe's.. I just like other beans better than kidneys

Didn't add any water, used a 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes, some red wine and a Coronita. Didn't put in the corn. I also cut up a hot pepper and sauteed it with the beef. Used cut up dark chocolate instead of the semisweet. Combined with Mexican Mole Poblano recipe. Came out a bit bland but has potential, just needs a bit more flavor. Woudn't use the coronita again, gave it too much of a wang.

I was really skeptical at first, but this chili had very good flavor. I used 1 tablespoon of chili powder, because I like spice. I eliminated the water, because I felt their was enough liquid with the 2 cans of diced tomatoes and I did not add the salt. I would definitely make this again.

This was very good. The chocolate added a nice flavor. Like another, I added about a half cup of dark chocolate chips, extra chili powder and cumin and also added red pepper flakes for some heat.
