I'm always looking for new chili recipes, and this one is definitely a keeper. The flavors are so well-balanced, and the smokiness from the chipotle peppers is perfect. I'll be making this again and again.

I've tried many chili recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The chipotle peppers give it just the right amount of heat, and the cocoa powder adds a unique depth of flavor.
