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.

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

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.
  
  I specified American milk chocolate because American milk chocolate typically uses a more sour milk which gives it its distinctive flavour. Personally I can't really stand it but to each their own.

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!
  
  Mole is absolutely delicious

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.
  
  A purist I see!
  
  Pfft, I bet you don't even think a hot dog is a sandwich.
  
  Huh, I didn't know chili had such an incredibly strict definition. Does this strict definition mean that adding anything extra no longer makes it chili? If so is chocolate, cocoa, or cinnamon also included in this super strict definition? If not then isn't adding these things make it some kind of "stew" not chili? Or is it just beans that make this dish magically transform into something else?
  I'd love to see this definition. Specifically where it says "unless it has beans, then it becomes something else"

I think we should collective start putting quotes around the word "chocolate" when referring to Hershey's "chocolate".

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"
- 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.
- Skyline Sixway: spaghetti, chili, a sepia photograph of garlic, grated laserdisc, a 747, and anxiety

Scrolling past this on an amoled screen with extra-low brightness this kinda looked like a satellite with solar arrays lol

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).

You put the Peeps in the chili pot and it makes it taste bad...

Hmm, I think the beans need to have some canned fish in there as well. It's the only way to complement the flavor in all its subtleties.
- Your comment made me throw up a little in my mouth.

that curry dish has way too much water in it.

Gordon, no. Get the shotgun, we gotta put em down like ol yeller.

¯(ツ)/¯ I put peanut butter in mine.
[hides]
- Smooth or chunky?
  
  Smooth.

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.

Everyone is so creative!

Thats a good meme template

I've seen that in cook book.
Obviously I immediately burned that and peed on the ashes.

It aint bad in chili or curry

I like cinnamon and honey added to a chili

small amt of cocoa powder in a chili is nice
