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.
