Chilli Con Carne...........

[Joe_the_Lion]

Does putting good quality dark chocolate in to a chilli really make a difference?

I have never done it and fail to see how it can improve?

Does anybody swear by it?

[cartman99]

Ive had it and couldnt really taste the difference

My friend did an anthony worrell thompson recipe with dark chocolate in it and it was gorgeous! Really tasted different, but we werent sure how!

my husband had chocolate chicken once, in a mexican restaurant, which he said was very nice, but i've never added it to chilli. i think it was cocoa powder that was used, rather than sweetened chocolate.

Chilli Con Carne is LUSH anyway but if you add a little darl chjocolate it just gives it the edge! A little more rich but well worth it ENJOY

yes it does make a difference, but just a tad ie a couple of bits to taste, and it has to be the good quality stuff 70%or more not bournville, good eating
