Found a recipe today online called "Best Chili you will ever eat", and it had 160 reviews to back up that claim. It's ingredients include coffee, chocolate, and guinesss beer. It's been in the slowcooker for about three hours now. Just another hour to go.

Its sounds disgusting to me. I hate coffee and beer. Love chocolate but don't think I'd like it in chili. You'll have to let us know how it tastes.

Oooo- - I'd LOVE that recipe. I bet it's got a similar richness to mole, one of my all time favorites. Please post!!

Teach, it was absolutely divine. Very much like a mole, though more of an Americanized mole, not like the traditional mole you can get in Central America. I only used one can of kidney beans and another can of mixed beans. Was out of cocoa so grated up half a square of bakers unsweetened chocolate. Skipped the ground chuck and instead used a mix of stew beef and hot italian sausage. For the four chili peppers, I used one jalapeno, one annaheim, and one serrano. And instead of doing it stovetop, I browned the sausage and the stew beef, then threw it all in the crockpot all afternoon. The Best Chili You Will Ever Taste This is the best chili recipe I have ever tried. I'm not sure where the recipe originated, but it is amazing! Sometimes, I don't bother adding all four cans of the kidney beans and it still turns out wonderful. Once anyone tastes this chili, they will be begging for the recipe!! Enjoy! SERVES 6 -8 Ingredients * 2 teaspoons oil * 2 onions, chopped * 3 cloves garlic, minced * 1 lb lean ground beef * 3/4 lb beef sirloin, cubed * 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (including juice) * 1 can dark beer * 1 cup strong coffee * 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste * 1 can beef broth * 1/2 cup brown sugar (*unless you like sweet chili, I cut this to 1/4c and used raw sugar instead of brown) * 3 1/2 tablespoons chili sauce * 1 tablespoon cumin * 1 tablespoon cocoa * 1 teaspoon oregano * 1 teaspoon cayenne * 1 teaspoon coriander * 1 teaspoon salt * 4 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans (drained and rinsed) * 4 chili peppers, chopped Directions 1.Heat oil. 2. Cook onions, garlic and meat until brown. 3. Add tomatoes, beer, coffee, tomato paste and beef broth. 4. Add spices Stir in 2 cans of kidney beans and peppers. 5. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. 6. Add 2 remaining cans of kidney beans and simmer for another 30 minutes.

Twinkie - chili and chocolate is a great combination. Good, dark chocolate with chipotle pepper is sooooo good. The spicy and the smoky and the bitter balance well... though I have a palette that loves spicy and bitter. Prolly not for everyone.

I've had mole a few times here and always loved it, but when I was in Belize this past summer I had mole at an authentic mexican restuarant, and there was just this... I don't know. An earthiness, a richness, that you don't often get. If you google "authentic mole" you'll see that most of the recipes it brings up call for pumpkin seeds, or almond paste, some call for peanut butter, some call for raisings, and all have a much more rounded blend of seasoning. Also key is the use of mexican chocolate, which typically has hints of cinnamon in it. The choice of peppers also makes a difference; if you use a roasted pepper like chipotle or a dried one line ancho, you'll get different depths of flavour.
