I love this chili. And so do my friends and family. I’ve made this chili several times and people have raved about it. What makes it so special? I’d have to say the spices- cocoa powder and cinnamon.

I absolutely love summer when my boyfriend comes home with a box full of fruits and veggies from coworkers with overflowing gardens.
