My husband's recipe. He adds unsweetened chocolate to give the chili a great richness.

1 each of red, yellow and orange bell pepper, sliced or diced
1 large red onion, sliced
2 can(s) 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes, undrained
2 c water

This chili is a great way to use up leftover chocolate. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I've made this chili several times and it's always a hit. It's the perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and savory.

This chili was a let down. The chocolate flavor was overpowering and the chili was way too sweet.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate in savory dishes, but I decided to give this chili a try. I'm glad I did! The chocolate flavor was subtle and really added to the complexity of the chili.

The chocolate chili was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best chili he's ever had.

This chili was easy to make and had great flavor. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out great.

I was skeptical about the chocolate in this chili, but I was pleasantly surprised. It added a subtle sweetness that really balanced out the heat of the chili.

This chocolate chili was a hit with my family! The combination of chocolate and chili was unique and delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.
