Chocolate Chili is absolutely delicious.
200 grams of dark chocolate are a good amount for a large 5 liter pot.
Also, one of the best winter beverages is cocoa powder (without sugar) boiled in milk with fresh chili peppers.But don’t use Hershey’s for fucks sake.
Or Nestle
My man a 5 litre pot is not a large pot of chili.
the real crime is using Hershey’s or any other American milk chocolate 🤮
As is usually the case for this kind of thing, there are tons of good chocolates from America. They just don’t come from major brand names.
For that matter, Nestlé is Swiss.
It’s actually a pretty good idea to add chocolate to certain savory dishes. Not that much or that kind, but still.
I put a single extremely dark chocolate square in my chili, it’s quite nice!
Never Hershey milk chocolate though
Mole sauce, for example. It’s absolute bliss!
I mean this could be an interesting combo, sweet and savoury together can be amazing if done ri-
sees its Hersheys
No I agree, whoever made this should be sent to the hague.
Correct, Hershey’s is not for human consumption.
It was the worst thing about my holiday in America. The chocolate is universally terrible. Way too sweet, rough texture and chemical taste to the dairy content (something in the milk used).
It’s the butric acid
which is also present in plenty of cheeses, many of which are also used in sweets…
Editing 2 months later: I live in America where “sweets” just means “sweet things” not “candy.” Cheesecake, cream cheese frosting, cannoli filling etc.
I think we should collective start putting quotes around the word “chocolate” when referring to Hershey’s “chocolate”.
Chocolate or cocoa powder in chili yes
But not that much. Just a lil very dark chocolate
That’s not chili, I see beans, so it appears to be a bean soup or bean stew, but I concur, a bit of cocoa and/or a touch of cinnamon can really elevate a chili or bean stew.
I put cocoa powder in my chili.
Yeah, cocoa powder enhances the flavor of the chili without making it taste like chocolate. What’s going on this picture is a crime though.
To be fair, the ratio of milk chocolate (15%) to dark chocolate (80%) works out to about 70% cocoa.
Chef put in about 10x too much, but maybe we don’t know how deep that pot is.
I say give it its day in court before we start thowibg around words like 'crime" or “inhumane”
I stand by the statement that adding Hershey’s to anything, including the human body, is a misdemeanor at best.
iirc Hershey’s dark is only 45% so basically milk chocolate
If that’s true then I’m not afraid to start lobbing terms like “crimes against humanity” around
How deep does this rabbit hole.go???
Just to be dramatic I’ll go one step further and call this terrorism.
Yeah, same here.
Nervously eats my Cincinnati Chili
See, that’s okay because:
- it’s Cincinnati Chili
- Dark Chocolate is typically added.
The picture is cursed because they fucking used hershey’s milk chocolate.
Yeah but I bet they ate their chili with spaghetti.
Chocolate and spice actually go together really well. Like Mexican mole and, yes, chili. Though you would usually use an unsweetened dark chocolate (like 70% or more cacao).
that curry dish has way too much water in it.
I am pretty sure that is not how you make Mole.
Nice to mole you. Meet you. Nice to meet you mole.
Don’t say mole.
I said Mole.
You put the Peeps in the chili pot and it makes it taste bad…
¯\(ツ)/¯ I put peanut butter in mine.

Smooth or chunky?
Smooth.
Everyone is so creative!
Thats a good meme template
