  1. This is not my favorite chili, but that is probably a personal taste preference. I would like a sweeter chili, my apples were granny smith, so rather tart. I wasn't terribly fond of the slight bitterness from the curry either. I did not know how much tomato sauce to use (what size can) so I used 2 cans of diced tomatoes instead. The chocolate made it smooth. I would also like to add a bit of salt.
     
  2. I was making my own big pot of chili surfing through different recipes when I came across yours. I added the cocoa powder to mine and instead of an apple added 2 cups of applesauce as I am making much more than 4 servings. Fabulous additions. Thank you for the creative ideas!! :)
