That’s not completely off, but it should be dark chocolate, not milk chocolate or whatever M&M’s are made with now. A little dark chocolate is great in chili.
It takes an excruciatingly small amount of chocolate, if you add too much it just tastes like chocolate. But it is good. Same with a touch of cinnamon. Very small amounts just to add some depth.
I came here looking for this and I knew Lemmy would come through for me. Thanks for passing your spark forward.
Put the peeps in the chili make it taste… Bad.

What about the Peeps?
I can’t tell if you’re joking.
If you’re not, do you mean like baking chocolate, ultra dark chocolate? Or like dark Ghirardelli chocolate chips
Most popular chili recipes have cocoa powder as an ingredient now. Adds a nice bit of earthiness to the chili.
I’ve used dark chocolate chips before, yes. I think they were Ghirardelli.
And no, not joking. Chocolate without the fat/sugar is bitter, and bitter flavors can add a lot if they’re mixed in correctly.
