One of the best recipes I have ever discovered…this flavorful aromatic chili is the perfect fall dish to make at home or make for friends. When the secret ingredient is chocolate, how can you go wrong? And you know how most chili dishes taste better a few days later? This one tastes AMAZING and cooks in 20 minutes! Don't be fooled by the daunting mention of jalapenos, baking them removes their heat!
