Anyone ever tried this? One of my friends told me about it and I guess its actually really good. Might have to make this recipe and try it out.

Any chili recipe that starts with turkey is a no-go for me. I like turkey but ground turkey sucks as an ingredient, might as well use tofu, they behave about the same, better hope everything else gives it some flavor.

Delete the chocolate because it's freakin pointless. It adds zero flavor and minimal color to that recipe. Someone just used those ingredients so they could call it chocolate chili.

Really... 1/2 ounce of chocolate and one Tbsp of cocoa powder? A Mole it ain't.

the best chili I've ever had was made with chocolate and Ancho chiles. It didn't have any chocolate flavor, but it did have a little bit of a sweet taste. He also used cubed steak pieces in it instead of ground beef. It was awesome, the only time I've ever asked someone for a recipe, but he wouldn't give it to me.

This is a recipe I found but have yet to try: http://www.recipezaar.com/Beef-Chili-With-...Chocolate-96771
It seemed like the closest I could find to what he told me.

^Sounds spicy,but again.........can be made without the chocolate as it really brings nothing to the dish.
